<p>[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1094051, member: 15929"]I kinda like that automatic bidding increment in that, as a seller, my hidden reserve isn't instantly revealed which, IMO, encourages buyers to continue to look and consider. The bottom line is, if I have a $250 buyback bid placed and a prospective buyer is only willing to bid $150 then where's the harm? And really folks, lets not kid ourselves, online auctions are in no way shape or form similar to a real auction. Besides, most folks wait until the last minute to bid anyway which kinda discourages bidding so I don't think anything sneaky is occuring. Those last minute bids or "snipes" either work or they don't work. No harm, no foul.</p><p> </p><p>I expect that most folks are simply unfamiliar with Teletrade combined with "current online bidder" practices which makes thing seem suspicious when in reality, its all right there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
