Yes it does, however if someone else bids for it which is higher than you and he wins, you'd need to pay your bid to the seller if you were the second highest bidder.  |

I imagine the auction will end when he has multiple bidders and a total bid sum greater that .1 BTC  |

Sorry forgot to explain  The auction will end 24 hours (determined by time stamp on forum post) after the sum of the 2 highest bidders is >0.1 BTC. This still leaves the ability for someone to make a nice, healthy profit Happy bidding |

The only way to win this game is to not play, you'll either end up paying way over .1 so you don't end up second, or paying and not getting shit  |

Why link to the wikipedia article instead of just posting the rules? Only the auctioneer gets to profit in the end.
This game can be beaten only if the game players are irrational. If the auctioneer is dishonest, he could use an alternate account to push up the bidding (this could be done in any of the auctions on this forum, how do you know if it happens or not?) Two players could conspire together (or just one player using two accounts), other players might bid a few times, but then player A puts in a bid quickly followed by player B. If bid(A) + bid(B) < .1, they will profit, and if they choose bids high enough then the other players will stop bidding, since the other players now have nothing risked they will not try to outbid the highest score to undo their loss. |

Granted, I *could* use a VPN and could bid it up, but that's a whole lot of work for what is really just good fun. |

I don't see how it would be possible to collect from the loser without them paying in advance.

Just a little tip here. You should make the auction in$. Why would you want to sell 0.1 bitcoin for 0.05 in example. Makes no sense to me.

1. If no one else bids, how am I going to lose exactly? 2. Why am I a scammer exactly/conducting shady stuff? I've even said I'll have the payment address escrowed. Nothing in this thread (or any other of mine) has made you think that! Its just a game and a bit of harmless fun. It gives someone a chance to make some money. |
