When people bid on ebay, the current price shown is not neccessarily the last bidders highest bid, but is simply the amount that was needed to pass the previous bidders bid. If a new bid comes that outbids the displayed amount but does not outbid the orignal bid, then they will be given this message. This is true of all ebay auctions. I think they call it incremental bidding, and is detailed on ebay's own site. Quite apart from that, every bid goes through ebay's own site, so I'm sure its impossible to infiltrate the bidding. And if someone did manage it, they'd probably do it on something more exotic than old chess computers. As for the condition of the machines, I have had several emails asking for more photos on particular models, and I have done my best to help where I can. I'm not a regular poster here, but I have done a few over the last year or so, and hope what I've said at least credits me to be more than a scammer.
