AH Rules Question

[Edwolf1963]

In an auction where the rules state you need to bid at least once before extended bidding starts, if I was the only bidder - how did I get outbid in the extended bidding period?

Update: Never mind - my bad .. rules state you can bid on any lot in the extended period as long as you bid on at least one item.

Extended bidding is the most asinine and time-suck auction method in existence. Hard to fathom AH's are still doing this. But hey, shilling is an accepted practice in Texas, so who am I to say.

Thanks John, it is what it is - I misread. Most don't allow you to bid on a lot you didn't bid on prior to extended period. This one does .. and they do note you can bid on any lot during extended as long as you have a bid on at least one.

I think I just got caught up in the WTF moment when I saw I got outbid late tonight on a lot I had been the only previous bidder on.

Im with you on this one. I believe if you have the only bid in you should win at extended bidding time. But I know they do it to allow underbidders on other lots to redirect there budget to another card.
