"being conned doesn't mean you deserve to lose your money."

AIUI HP were bidding (or at least Leo was bidding) against Larry. When you outbid another would-be buyer you set the price. It looks as if the price he they decided to bid was based on the value that they hoped to gain by integrating into their product line rather than on past sales.
