That's a good guess I think. I'm going to say $300.

Yep and if you would have threw more money in it would have went upwards to $300 and you still might not have gotten it. If it were in cleaner condition I would have expected there to be more resistance though.

JP's right, at least to the extent that you never know what the other peeps's maximum was. So even if you think you've missed by just a few bucks, thinking you could've won by bidding more is a groundless assumption.
