[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 8233386, member: 26430"]That must've been so frustrating for the other bidder! Of course, it's fair play within that auction's system, and good strategy. To quote Omar: "It's all in the game, yo." I agree here (or at least "better," even if not any "fairer" in a strict technical sense). I think it's better just to have bids by increments as a lot of places do it. (Only thing I don't like is occasionally when an auction stops allowing "max bids" even well before the coin goes "live" by only letting bidders go up [I]one[/I] increment.) Another thing I'd like even more to see: On CNG's system, if someone increases the bid in the final seconds, the software adds another 15 seconds to the auction. That way it does no good to try and bid at the last second, since it'll always be "last second plus :15."[/QUOTE]
