Northeast...between Gainesville and Jacksonville.

It's because another bidder has bid higher than you. Example....if there is no minimum starting bid, like my auctions, this is how it works. If someone bids 200, it will show one bid, and the bid amount will show as 1. If you come along and bid 50, it will tell you you've been outbid, and then show the bid at 50. If you, or anyone else, then bids 125, it will say you've been outbid and show the bid at 125. It will keep doing that until somebody bids MORE than 200. The BEST way to bid = decide what is the most you'd pay for the item. Say, you'd be willing to go as high as 325 on something, and the bid showing is 10, for example. It would then say that YOU were the high bidder, and the bid would show as 11. Bidding 325 does NOT mean that's what you'll have to pay....unless someone bids 324. Now, if the auction ends with, say, 125 the winning bid, THEN that's what you pay. NOT the whole 325 you started with. Those other 200 credits goes right back into your account. Most people here really don't know the first thing about bidding. That's why you'll see something with, say, 17 bids on it. You look down at the bidding, and you see one person bid 12, then 15, 18, 22, and so on. They obviously don't have a clue about bidding. It may be somewhat confusing, until you understand how it works, but I hope this helps explain it.
