How was I outbid when the current bid is the same as my bid?

In some cases, you may see that even though your bid and the current bid are the same, you have been outbid. This is because someone else previously placed a MaxBid equaling the amount you just bid, and your bid prompted the system to raise their bid to its maximum. Even though you both bid the same amount, their bid wins because it was placed earlier than yours. You are welcome to raise your bid and keep competing!
