Interesting. Except I'd rather not void an otherwise valid-bid. And I don't care if newcomer enters late in the game. They just have to be able to hold the bid for the X minutes required before I close the auction. Basically, I think the auction (...) (25 years ago, 26-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

Instead, put a note in the auction text that you reserve the right not to honor any bid placed in the last X minutes unless placed by a previous bidder in the same auction.

No, I just talking about the case where someone comes in after the bids have settled for a while, and bids on them at G2. You outbid them, they wait for G2, and bid again. You outbid them, they wait for G2 (lather, rinse, repeat)..... Get the idea? (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

I understand why sellers like reserves, but as a buyer (1) I'd prefer that they were banned, limited, or cost the seller a lot of money to do. If the listing fee is 50 cents, charge 20% of the reserve whether the item sells or not. Plus 5 bucks to (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
