@Panthers, I can understand both sides but you have to admit his misunderstanding was due to me not being here to clarify. Hence there is 15 minutes between bids...and me not being here...bitguy can answer for himself if he intended on outbidding you or not. I will not speak for him.
What if I restarted the auction at 2.75BTC and increments of 0.01 and let you both go at it?
