I lost a big Megaman auction :(

[Protoman]

Was bidding on an auction for Rockman 1-6 with max bid being 75 dollars, it went up to 90.50.  A little strange that all the other
bidders had names like n***n, o***n, z***z, r***d, v***m... strange.

So when I lost that I went out and found some games on Buy it Now so I wouldn't go home empty-handed. I got Rockman 4, Rockman 6, Milon's Secret Castle and Ninja Jajamaru-kun Ginga Daisakusen.

This has been an irrelevant tale, but now it's over. Good day.

From eBay?  eBay uses disguised names for all listings now, but I generally won't bid on auctions that fully hide the bidder's name.  I think you're looking at more than 75 for those games loose either way, so don't feel too bad!

I was bidding on some Super Famicom games and couldn't put a bid at the last minute because it was UK only.  I'm in the UK, but the rule needed my account to be linked or something, so those auctions went for under $5 each

I know that feel bro. I lost a PAL Megaman 1 to 4 CIB. I had it winning at 2 mins remaining at $305 and got outbidded at a few seconds remaining.

And ebay names show up as X***X if they are competing bidders. It's a one of ebays privacy measures.


EDIT:
Why won't you bid on privite auctions, LET?

Private auctions have the ability to hide shill bidding.

Good point. Really never thought of that.
