Message:: [QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 2743355, member: 85251"]But that's not the fault of the programs that is 100% the fault of the person who is idiotically inputing a price higher than they are willing to pay.  That strategy makes absolutely zero sense and 100% defeats the purpose of using a program to bid in the first place.  I don't use a program to bid but the same logic applies, if my limit for a coin is $500, that's the bid I input at the end of the auction.  What sense would it make for me to input $600 and think "it will never get there anyways!".  It might and then I'd pay more than the $500 I wanted. Therefore I don't do it.  I would, however, from time to time potentially increase that $500 bid if I had an extra 15 minutes and was outbid.  Having that extra time is extra opportunity for me to make an emotional "how dare you outbid me!" or "hmmmm maybe it is worth more than $500" type decision.  I'm still inputing my max bid in before the auction ends, now I just have more time to increase it with davidh's proposed method. People can drive their cars in the wrong lane.  That's not the fault of the car or the construction crew who built the lanes.  It's the idiot driver's fault.[/QUOTE]
