I had several messages from members about the potential to manipulate the bidding and final bids. Something about fake accounts bidding at the end to try to have an exact number. I just need to give some thought to a foolproof way to do the bonuses and they will be re-instituted.

Two or three different members emailed and PM'd me to be aware it could happen. SO it was at least thought about by 2 honest guys. That is also why you saw the last few auctions have higher ending amounts. It was because I thought by doing that it would be safer but then was PM'd again about the potential fake accounts. I know it's crazy but what can I say? I don't make this stuff up .
