I TOTALLY agree. In fact, once I learn more about Perl I will try
(and probably fail) to implement the type of multi-bidding interface.
I don't think it has already been done, but I will search the EA
forums and see.
Bidding on single items via the web can get a little old. 'Course,
with my new "super-sized" lots, that becomes a little less of an issue
- at least if you want all 50 of something you don't have to bid on 10
lots of 5.
