Hmm, interesting theory. I bet it doesn't work that way, though. If the gap between the current bid and the top of the proxy is large enough, and a hard bid (or proxy bid with the right top value) is submitted, my overbid can be pushed to an amount (...)

Well in that case I guess you'd have to do some math and make your proxy the amount of percentage it should be in order for them to have to beat you by the percent rate. At least that's what I would do. I think the way it's done now is fair, you (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
