Good. (note that this is clearer than your first statement "AucZILLA
works the 'correct'<emphasis mine> way" :-) )
I was getting myself into a panic for nothing, I must have been
misreading the results I was examining.
What about Derick's example, scenario 3? Does B get it in the AucZILLA
case?
Derick: did you guys try actually testing eBay behaviour? Using a very
obscure item that no one could want, and a 1 day auction, you could test
eBay to see if indeed it did scenario 3 the same way you planned it.
Just curious.
