The process is flawed. Let’s say it is a hundred card lot of roughly equivalent value cards. Let’s further assume that the whole lot is at $10,000 and the sum of the individual lots is at $9800. Further assume that there is one card in the lot that you really want that it is currently at $100. You might be willing to pay over $200 for that card but auction software won’t let you bid because once you go to $110 you are the high bidder and you can’t top yourself. The software should be adjusted so that the aggregate lot total can bump your bid, but to my knowledge no auction software is constructed like that. I had this very situation happen to me in an auction years ago. I had to call the auction and instruct them to bid against me (I may the only person ever who asked to be shilled) so that I could get my bid to the point where the total of the single cards exceeded the aggregate and I could win the card I wanted.
