I put in a forward bid on a white gold alexandrite ring last night. It said there was already one forward bid on it and how much it was for. So I placed the next one up. It ended in the early hours of the morning. This morning I get an email to say I was outbid. Fair enough, I thought. However, it's now reappeared in the web games with again one forward bid already on it for the same amount. It seems a bit fishy to me. Do you think they put phantom forward bids on items to try to make you buy it at full price? It wouldn't surprise me. This happened to me before with an item which every time it appeared on a web game had a forward bid on it which I bid on but always lost it. I did eventually win it on about the 4th time of trying, but it was so hideous that I sent it back anyway. :grin:
