The thing here is that you have no positive way of knowing whether they started out with your maximum bid or not - at least without an audit. There may have been another online bidder that was close to your bid. There may have been live bidder or two that ran it up to your bid. Either way, I have found that it is best to attend the auction if you really want to know what is going on. I have also found that it is never in your best interest to want something enough to keep bidding past your own limits. And, for sure there are crooked auctioneers out there. A LOT of them. I have found myself bidding against the wall at a couple of auctions. The second I suspect that I am being taken for a ride, I stop bidding. Did that at one auction and the auctioneer kept taking bids from me that I WAS NOT MAKING!! I stood up and said VERY LOUDLY when he announced that I had bought the item that I did not make that bid. I never went to another of his auctions. When I see his name, I simply leave.
One thing to know for sure about auctions is that you should never bid more than you are willing to spend on an item. Also not a good idea to get caught up in a bidding war for an item. That is a good way to get auction fever and pay more than you ever would have under "normal" circumstances.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
