[QUOTE="tenbobbit, post: 3533295, member: 95247"]Someone sounds a little confused as far as bidding in an auction is concerned. How do you know what amount the current high bidder has submitted as a pre-bid ? Answer - You don't. You will only find out when your bid is not high enough or it says YOU are the highest bidder and the price will be stated. In your scenario it sounds like another bidder is willing to go up to $170 and has put that as their pre-bid, as $140 is the current high bid that is what shows. You then put $180 as your maximum offer and therefor the coin is automatically bid up to that amount due to the fact another max offer of $170 is already registered. Nothing dodgy there, just the way bidding works in most auctions. I also think your opening statement is very confusing, just state the facts instead of creating a nonsensical scenario which we are inevitably going to struggle to get our heads round.[/QUOTE]
