The thing here is that you have no positive way of knowing whether they started out with your maximum bid or not - at least without an audit. There may have been another online bidder that was close to your bid. There may have been live bidder or two that ran it up to your bid. Either way, I have found that it is best to attend the auction if you really want to know what is going on. I have also found that it is never in your best interest to want something enough to keep bidding past your own limits. And, for sure there are crooked auctioneers out there. A LOT of them. I have found myself bidding against the wall at a couple of auctions. The second I suspect that I am being taken for a ride, I stop bidding. Did that at one auction and the auctioneer kept taking bids from me that I WAS NOT MAKING!! I stood up and said VERY LOUDLY when he announced that I had bought the item that I did not make that bid. I never went to another of his auctions. When I see his name, I simply leave.
One thing to know for sure about auctions is that you should never bid more than you are willing to spend on an item. Also not a good idea to get caught up in a bidding war for an item. That is a good way to get auction fever and pay more than you ever would have under "normal" circumstances.

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
