I think when you bid on a speaker in the auction site, that Axiom ups the price to try and get you to pay more. Case in point: They had a VP150 v2 set at $95. There was one bid, I bid and reset it to $99. At the same time that new items were added to the list, I was out bid. I kept upping the bid and found that it was set to $200. This sounds fishy to me, the last bid was upped from $100 to $200 at the same time that new items were added. If they outbid me again I hope they are happy keeping their item.
