Auction Question

Your $200,000 bid was placed, but not high enough to compete with the current high bidder's maximum bid.

Can someone explain to this neanderthal what this means? How do I find out the high bidder's max bid for the item?

Sorry, I'm not the smartest one in the family.

It should show you who the highest bidder is and what they have bid on each item. However, that persons maximum bid may be higher than what the current bid is. Your bid must be higher than what that persons maximum bid will be

You would have to bid higher then the person who's bid on the item.

If you want to have the highest bid, unfortunately all you can keep doing is trying to bid with more and more money. I’d suggest doing small increments so you don’t completely overbid. Good luck :-)
