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.

OK , I an ignorant to snipe bidding - In this case Sean got a good number for a really cool pin (and is being reasonable) and we can agree that the snipe bid in all likelyhood didn't affect anything. However, to my way of thinking, high bid is high bid - in other instances a double bid by same bidder with a big spread could scare off a bidder in the middle. In fact I have bid against myself in other auctions by accident. What am I missing? I have had a great experience with members on BST to date and will posting some more interesting items in the future, but I'm thinking high bid is high bid.
