Tell me how in the heck they do that?

I put a maximum bid of 30.50 on an item that was currently priced at 17 bucks.

I sat and watched 1 min out ... no change, 30 seconds out, no change, 5 seconds out no change (now I'm getting excited) 2 seconds out I see the price jump to 20 (woot I still have it !) 1 second to go BOOM 31.00 .. sorry you lost the bid

Now I could chalk it up to just bad luck or some such but this has happened to me not once not twice but at least on 4 seperate occasions if not more.

In the last second of the bidding I will get beat by a dollar
