[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3013711, member: 56859"]I agree. Plus, strategizing the best way to pick and win targets is part of the fun. [USER=76086]@Ken Dorney[/USER], in CNG e-auctions when the lot closes the winning bidder name is not shown initially but if you refresh the screen you will be able to see the winning bidder name for each lot until the entire auction has concluded. I've used that on several occasions to examine who won what. Sometimes I make a note of early bidder names and when the auction closes, I look to see who held on to their lots and who lost.
