I would love to see that bidding history...

The bidding was at 26 with 30 seconds to go. I put in a bid for 51 with abou 6 seconds to go. The winner put in bids of 45,48,50,51,52 within that short time frame. My fault - I bid too early.

That's some impressive bidding.

My computer won't even display the "you've been outbid" message that quickly. I'm guessing they bid 45 at about 5 seconds and blindly hit the bid again button a bunch of times.

Sounds like someone just kept hitting the "1-click bid" functionality. Probably the only way that would be possible with that bidding pattern.

Different bid increments though, so that wouldn't be the case.
