I officially declared shennanigans over at the cmp. I need someone to second it.
When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

Second !!!
I know that if I entered the wrong bid, especially at the price of $40,000.00, I would calling cmp, emailing them, etc and telling them it was
the mistake. The other thing that has me thinking is that if my supposedly high bid was $4,000.00 and I saw that I was high bidder
at $10,000.00, $12,000.00, $20,000.00 etc, I would be wondering what was wrong.

Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.

He got buyers remorse. It asks you in big-ass bold "Your maximum bid is $1069.50 for this item" so how the hell he missed that doesn't pass the smell test.
What happened is he didn't want to deal with bidding over and over and put some ridiculous number up there expecting to get it for $5-7k, only to be blind-sided when it hit $39k. If I were CMP I would be calling 2nd, 3rd and 4th in line asking if they wanted it because there are guys out there with legitimate money that would pay $20k for that gun.
Shenanigans.
