Thanks for the good and constructive feedback, Todd (as well as thanks to the others)
I set the minimum low due to complaints of the Live Auctions starting at retail prices. When I sold my collection, everything sold (99%?) because I wanted everything to sell (ok, I sold too early, whatever
)
Whole dollar increments because I think it's kind of weaselly to bid a penny more than the next bid.
The rules take about 5 seconds to change if there are better ways and it makes sense. But I don't want to manage these auctions or have to get involved. They have to be simple and easy (KISS method) just like the BST is 99.9% of the times, without respect for the scammers of recent times.

Not really sure why there is a minimum bid requirement. Seems that an unrealistic opening bid will soon be spotted and the seller will learn from his mistake when there are no takers.
Also not really sure why whole dollar increments only. Given digital/electronic payments, it's not like somebody is sending bags of coins. Personally, if someone wants to pay me 37 cents more than the last guy I can live with that.
Still, nice to see the new format--good luck to all who play.
