Devin, all kidding aside about lunch a hooters (great wings, good pilsner)... I get what you're talking about. Although you hadn't closed the transaction, you were in line for it and someone from behind outbid you. That does suck but it happens all the time. Normally the person bidding from behind you is smart enough to do it through PM rather than in public... this lets the seller clear a bit more profit and save face for both involved in the transaction.
