Although it probably doesn't affect you, I believe that it also has to do with the size of the bid, not just the price. They have to match up the buy orders to the sell orders in price and size, and your's didn't match up in time. That's why odd-lots used to cost more. Also, if you had an all-or-none order, the size of the buyer's order might not have been big enough to cover it. Since your broker couldn't sell all of your shares, she sold none of them. There are probably a hundred other reasons. Like Larry said, it sucks, but it happens all the time.
