Good man to take the lower of the two.

Congrats to the buyer. Quality item

Interesting BST situation & potential problem!

What if someone had bid $175 in between Bruce's $150 & his $275 snipe? Where/what do you set the winning bid at?

There was no incremental bid increase established either.

Then his 275 snipe would have been taken. I think what you bring up is moot because no one actually placed an incremental bid.

Not moot at all.

I'm considering the impact on ANY future BST sales as there are very few rules here.

On EBay there are built-in bid increments. You did not designate any, so you are saying you would have expected Bruce to pay the $275 even tho the next lower bid was only $175?

That's how it has been in the past. I guess I can cross that road when I come to it.

That is how I assumed it always was. Look at any previous auctions on BST, you are not doing incremental bidding, you are basically making offers with the best offer prior to the cut off time getting the item. Net54 auctions may be called an auction, but I have always looked at it more as a "Best offer" situation with the seller designating the lowest offer they would accept.

OK w/ me--I just wanted to clarify AHEAD of any potential future problems. I probably have not been Selling here as long as you 2, and had never seen a snipe bid used before.

Honestly, I am pretty reasonable. I used to do 10% increments so it would likely be something along those lines. We can see if others respond and have had this situation before.
