Outbid & Stiill Won Auction

[Lawrence of Arabia]

So this is the second time this has happened to me. I have bid on Deuces both at Grayling and Selfridge with the intentions of landing 2 trucks each time. During the auction, if 1 truck I am bidding on goes to high I move onto another truck that is within my price range. At the end of both auctions, it showed I won 2 trucks both times. Then I get an email saying I won 3 trucks. Any idea how this happens? Can a person retract a bid and then they award the auction to the next highest bidder? Oh and the best part is my wife never believes me when I say It was an accident, I did'nt plan on buying 3 of them.

I think you are posting this in here to try to onvince your wife you aren't lying to her. It's ok we understand, buy 4 next time.

Ha! Too funny.

I bet GL rejected the high bid for some reason and you were next in line.

Hmmmm, not sure if I could convince my wife over something like this but good luck to you

 

[army_nurse]

i wonder if my wife will buy that one????? so you are saying it has worked not once but twice. I might give it a try.

Just please don't ask us to borrow you money to cover these auctions.

It never happened to me. If you were closer I might help you unload one. Good luck!

I thought I had been outbid on one of mine @ Selfridge
but I was wrong.
It may be a glitch in the system, it disappeared from my winning list
but showed up a minute later as I had won.
(While I was in the process of seeing what was left)

Heck I didn't need 2 let alone 3 more!
but then I never really needed the 1st one...............

You should be receiving bid notification and outbid notices in your email.

Should be easy enough to see(after the fact) what happened, for sure.

That happened to me, too. I 'won' and later while I was gloating I looked at the list of won auctions or thereabouts and it was GONE! It was there a while later though.

My wife thinks all my MV's belong to someone else, and I just store and exercise them.

I once had GL tell my driver to load the wrong vehicle (which was nicer than the one I bought). I wouldn't want to have been the other guy, so I convinced GL to take it back (they paid the shipping back) and hand over mine. Someone else got a really nice M818 while I got a project.

I just won two deuces on accident. I bid low and didn't think I was gonna win at all. I had to explain to my wife that I didn't mean to win. She believes me so far
