<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1723728, member: 29643"]Heritage still does it for the memorabilia auctions. They add 30 min after each bid, but you're only eligible to bid in the "extra time" if you already logged a bid during the regular auction period. I don't think it's a terrible idea, personally.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do, however, hate what my local B&M does. They have an auction system where you can "contest" the highest bid. If the bid is contested, the high bidder and the contesting individual are allowed to place a contest bid, with the highest legal bid (meaning the lower bid +10%) will win. The problem with this is that if you aren't informed of the contest system beforehand (which the shop owner doesn't bother with explaining), you automatically will lose the contest, since you likely won't be present to counter-bid against the contested price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
