i've been quietly bidding, winning and smoking in silence for a long time. Just not joined in many of the conversations here. Let me elaborate on what I found odd in this particular bid and ask if this occurrence is new or something I've just not encountered before.
I bid early and was outbid. No biggie. Day of auction I decided it was worth upping my offer. 5 bids total at 22, 22.5, 22.5, 22.5, and 24 I think. Was willing to go about $25 for the lot, and the bid page said the minimum bid was 24.50, which I entered with a max of $25. (mine is the last bid, RR in Burtonsville). What I find odd, is $22 bid stayed at $22. Seems it used to bump up the low bid, not just kick off the highest bid you surpassed. I am used to seeing 2 rates, not a spread of rates like this. New algorithm to determine which bids get kicked? encouraging bidding earlier instead of coming in trying to snipe deals? or am I as Tony suggests, just a newbie that doesn't know his stogie from a stick in the ground? 🌫
