If Enzo or another character is concerned, maybe he can start a movement to spread auction awareness IC
This issue has come up in the past and I bet it will come up again in the future.... Last second auction bids / wins. In my experience 9 times out of 10 the person who losses out at the last second will be upset. They might have bidded more if given the chance to do so. Since we do not have a MAX BID system here (or that is indeed another idea one can use but a bit more work with PM's and such.My idea which I have seen used here in the past with much success.No auction will close untill 12 hours (of more if you choose) has past with NO bids. Say your auction closes at 6PM CST and someone bids at 5:55 PM CST... that bid automatically extends the auction end time by 12 hours to 5:55 AM CST... and any more bids that follow extend the auction 12 hours from that bid time. This gives all parties who had bid chance to bid again should they wish to. Efectivly eliminating that last second bid snipe.No one gets upsed they lost an item they had the bid on for 2 days only to loose out in the last seconds. AND!!! You the seller stand to possibly make more money!! cause the action will not close now before all active bidders get a fair chance at bidding again. No this isnt a rule. No you dont have to do it. But it certainly can create less upset people.. and possibly create more coin for your pocket!! EDIT Another idea is to NOT disclose the exact auction close time. Example: Say what day the auction will close but NOT what time. It has been my experience however that this method can lead to thoughts of favoritism so I do not use this method here.G-452
