While I can understand your frustration, your bid was canceled in accordance with the terms of the auction. Whoever he sold it to after the fact is irrelevant, simply put this really just sounds like a bunch of sour grapes.
Anyhow, mauidj is a really nice guy, I would bid on his items without hesitation and do appreciate the "heads up" when someone on the forum has auctions going. (Might throw a bid in on the DENEB.
