(...) No. When the high bid is retracted, the next highest bid will only be $.50 (or whatever the bid increment is) above the bid BELOW it.

(...) Hi Mike, I'm trying to understand how things are happening... When someone retracts a bid, the high bid should go to the next highest bidder, right? Shouldn't that value have been somewhere within $.50 (or whatever the bid increment is) from (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
