Would need bid to be .0006 I think.

1K chip @ .002

Sorry I think mine was an invalid bid on Lot 2. I thought there were 25, but there are only 20. Spokanistan51 had all 20 @ .0004.

New bid:
Lot 2: 5 @ .0006

Lot 2: 5 @ .0004

I appreciate your strict adherence to the rules you set forth. I agree with you that you lost out on this auction with initial bids almost twice what the final sale was for. I still disagree. The rule that a new bid cancels an older existing bid is there to ensure a person is not held accountable for two separate bids when they intended only one. An auction fundamentally can not go backwards in price, even with your rules.  Those new lower bids should have never been valid bids, unless if intended for a second item. If people don't know how an auction works at a basic level, they shouldn't be bidding and/or trying to manipulate the auction or seller. This format can be and has been implemented on this forum successfully without issue.

I understand what you are saying, but it makes no sense.
The definition of an auction is "a public sale in which goods or property are sold to the highest bidder." So any lower bid is automatically invalid, based on the definition of an auction.  You even stated in the OP that a bid is invalid if it could not possibly win a slot. I don't think you need to explicitly forbid a lower bid as it would be invalid. It seems that once someone bid lower than their original bid, their original bid should have still stood, and the new bid would have been valid for a second slot if it beat one of the other existing bids. It doesn't replace an existing winning bid at a lower price. It does not seem that the auction rules in this or others were fundamentally flawed, just not applied correctly to the bids placed in this case? I'm just trying to understand better.


I just don't understand how a lower bid could override a higher bid ever in an auction. I may be crazy, but that is what an auction is. It does not need to be stated in the rules, that's what it is. rsincognito and kebab77's "newer, lower bids" should not have invalidated their higher bids, but stood as new bids if they beat any other existing bids, otherwise they are by definition invalid. Simply having higher bid does not mean they are "paying a premium" it means they have a better chance of winning the auction. Maybe they are willing to pay more to get their choice of numbered bar?  Again, I am just so confused and trying to understand better. I'll quit beating the horse.

I don’t understand this at all?  How can bids go down in an auction? Wouldn’t the higher bids stay regardless and lower bids be replaced with higher bids? I thought that was how an auction worked. It doesn’t seem that this concept needs clarification in the rules, but would be implied. Can someone explain how price can go down. Minerjones has had many multi-item auctions that function this way. Ie the recent Lealana 10 coin auction.

You're going to have to get up pretty early in the morning (literally) to beat freecitizen! And likely won't beat darker45 regardless of when you get up.

It extends 15 minutes from the bid time if a bid if it is within 15 min of the auction end. It does not extend the end of the auction 15 minutes. So the bid at 17:45:42 extended the auction to 18:00:42, not 18:15:00.
