Ebay bidding question

Yes, I would guess that first they bid the flat price you saw, then realized they could not be there to watch the very end of the auction (and/or someone explained to them the concept of sniping an auction in the last second,) so they bid again with their actual highest price, but had to surpass their own first bid in order to get the new bid registered.

Thanks, Clod. Someone else has bid now, outbidding the first guy's two bids.
Really I ought to go to bed instead of staring at my crummy little auction item!
