Am I the only one here that thought this was actually beneficial to the bidder??? I was looking at lots that had an autobid next to it and realized that it didn't make sense to bid since the current bidder already had "secured his place in line" at least for another increment. So I left a bid which I would have otherwise bid on...giving the bidder a win at a lower price.

Conspiracy theorists sometimes need to look at the positive side of things!!!!

Jessica & Trish: Thank you for your help in getting this resolved. As nearly as i can tell both problems -- the autobid and the 'Outbid' on the Watch Lots -- are now fixed.

It's a double edged sword!

Whem I'm bidding, sure I would like to know what the bidders max is, while on the other hand, when I'm the top bid with a max, I don't want anyone else to know what my max bid is.

It's like an auction with a reserve bid on an item. You never know what the reserve is.

Even though it may benefit you in the short run, someone could decide to push all of your bids to their max intentionally and you would lose money and never know the difference. Someone with bad motives could intentionally torpedo or drive up every single auction from someone else that has beat them out in the past or offended them in the forums, which is often if you read the political threads. It is not a conspiracy issue, it is an important and thoughtful observation to keep things at their most equitable.

Ultimately it could hurt this site if everyone notices their max bids are always reached. So, to answer you, yes you are the only one that thinks that. If you disagree let me know your max bids and I will drive up all of your auctions, Have a nice day!🇨🇮
