That's the way it works. If the offer says $300, first one gets it. If
the offer says _minimum bid_ $300, that's different. Of course if the
offer says $300 obo, then if the best bid after a week is $50, in theory
that should cover it.

Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
