[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 993039, member: 112"]No, it doesn't. But that's because you don't know what the exact figure is at any given moment when you are using the computer. That is because of the time delay involved. Yes, it only takes a few seconds for the live action to reach your computer. But in that few seconds the actual live bid can change by thousands of dollars. Say you're watching an auction, the current bid is $1200, you hit the enter key to place your bid of $1300. Now between the time that you saw that $1200 bid, and the additional time that it takes for your bid to reach them at the auction, the live bid may have increased to $6000. So when your bid hits, that $1300 bid of yours turns into $6500. Yeah - in just those few seconds of delay that's what can happen. And it has in fact happened to some people. Now Stewart has said that Heritage will take care of those mistakes, and I have no doubt that they will. But the fact still remains - it happens.[/QUOTE]
