Ok what the heck

[GP]

Ok, does anyone know if aquabid employees are allowed to bid on fish as well? I have a number of auctions up right now, and there is one person who keeps outbidding me $1 over what I set my max no matter how obscure. None of these auctions have been bumped up, just the person's first bid is $1 over what I set.

For example, I set a max at 26.52, they bid 27.52. Now, how would they do this to the exact number without bumping it at all? The only person who knows what I am bidding is Julie, so who is this? If it is an aquabid employee or whatever is that really fair? Kind of takes away from the "auction environment" if you ask me...

Am I being sensitive, or do you guys agree?

P.S. If the person who's outbidding me is here...I will not stop, so you might as well

That's perfectly normal, it's just the way the system works.


Example.

Bid is at 25.05

I bid 50.00

The price that appears on the screen is 1.00 over what the last bidders max bid was. So if his max bid was 25.05, the bid will only show up as 26.05, instead of 50.00.

Say if I now bid on this auction that shows the price at 26.05, and I bid 30.00. It will say I have been outbid and the auction price will show as 31.05. Get it?


Also forgot to add. On aquabid they have a feature that should not be allowed. If you look under bid history, you can see the prices when raised, as opposed to ebay, the bid history is kept private until the auction closes.

Sort of that sucks.

Max bids shouldn't be allowed on any auction sites, the only thing a max bid does is let someone lazy put a bid down and not follow the auction until its almost finished.. it should be like the auctions you see on T.V. were you have to go up and up instead of putting a set price down

Kind of fishy that the same bidder bid on all of the same fish after Sorrell, and they are all from the same seller . . .

Sorrell if I were you I'd stop bidding for now and wait until just before the auction ends. Snipe his bid

well i c wat u mean bones, about how sum 1 lazy can just get on and have their bid bumped, but that kinda thing is there so no one can wait around till the last minut of the auction and outbid u. and if ur busy at work or sumthion u can b keepin an eye on ur bid

The only time a Bump shows up is when you put a proxy bid in, and someone outbids your last bid. Your proxy kicks in, and outbids their bid. It shows their attempt to outbid you by showing it as a Bump. If you bid 25.00, and they bid..it will show as 26.00. . That is if the increments are in 1.00 amounts. If you bid 33.42...and they have a proxy of 50.00...their bid will show as 34.42 if it is 1.00 increments. Again..the Bump is only when a bid was put in, but the high bidder to that point has a proxy bid higher than the attempt to outbid you. Hope this helps.
