Ouch!  15% is extreme for a bid increment.  So much for me doing much
bidding on that site.
Steve,
The Serious Collector allows the selling Member to pick the indrement: 5% • 10%
or 15% - it is not fixed at X%.
The selling Member thus controls the speed of the auction, or rather s/he
manages how quickly a lot reaches its "ideal" price.

   Hey, that's a good thing to know!  That large increment was my biggest
complaint today regarding SC - if its adjustable, I think that is definitely
a step up from any other on-line auction.  15% is not a bad increment for,
say, a $50 item that the seller wants to sell quickly.  I like that!  Thanks
to the people in this thread who have brought up, and answered, several
important points.
