<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1553810, member: 37498&quot;]It&#039;s hard to say what they would or wouldn&#039;t have done. If they put themselves in your position where they had to make up their mind up front about the highest price they&#039;re willing to pay, they might have put $45.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>...and I see this as just one of many flaws in FeeBay&#039;s system. I think they should try to replicate the tried and true live auction format as closely as possible. Live auctions don&#039;t close at a designated time. They close after giving everyone a chance to place another bid. &quot;Going once... going twice... SOLD!&quot; FeeBay should do the same. If they receive a bid just before the closing time, they should extend the time by at least one minute. The fifteen minutes that other sites use is a little much, but it&#039;s better than nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>ETA: The reason I think the 15 minute extension is a bit much is that I have bid on vehicles on the govauctions web site and hardly anyone bids until the end.&nbsp; Then people bid typically outbid each other by the minimum increment.&nbsp; Then it seems the next guy usually waits till the end of the 15 minute period before placing his bid.&nbsp; I sat around once for FOUR HOURS waiting for the bidding to reach its end.&nbsp; If they made it one minute, it would have taken 15-20 minutes.&nbsp; I guess I could have just walked away and checked back the next day to see if I&#039;d won, but I just had to watch.&nbsp; (I didn&#039;t win.&nbsp; The darn truck sold for well above blue book value...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
