<p>[QUOTE="Nathan P, post: 3709140, member: 99051"]The lots of the auction house in question close at a fixed time just like CNG. The issue is that, with about 10 seconds to go, I put my max bid in. I take the lead. Then, with 3 seconds or less to go, the bidding goes directly to my max bid, uncannily, just about every single time (often far above where I had first taken the lead). Now, I was willing to pay that much. But I just find it to be a little bit too coincidental that the bidders I'm supposedly bidding against manage to take the bidding, with a few seconds to go, right to my max bid that often. Not $20 less or $20 more. Literally, right to my max bid. If it was just happening to me I might still think it's a coincidence. But since this issue is apparently well known, well now I'm thinking it's not a coincidence and will adjust my bidding accordingly (or just not buy from this auction house anymore).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
