: This is an example of idiots bidding:
: 'Build Me Up Buttercup' Placard (open bid requirement $5)
: Hoser (Tue May 30 13:14:48 2000) - $20.00
: Jstecker22 (Tue May 30 14:08:36 2000) - $21.00
While I haven't bid on anything.... I know E-Bay lets you bid as high
above the minimum as you want, but only the minimum price will be
taken at closing if noone bids above you.
Example: minimum = $5 in $.50 increments.
Person #1 bids $30 - but it only shows as $5.50.
Person #2 bids $10.50 - but is not high enough - next bid must be
$11.
If no one else bids, Person #1 gets it at $11 .... not the $30 original
bid.
I take it this isn't how it works on E-Jay?
