I have tried to remember to include bidding increments when posting to B/S/T as that is what I am most comfortable with and what I believe is the fair thing to do. However, I have accepted bids past the assigned increment as I see that as the bidder's choice (to potentially throw some money away because max bid is not included).
I believe all bidders should have the choice to overbid within any constrains the seller sets forth. There is usually an equal number of bidders with buyers' regret as there are runner-ups. Such is the nature of the beast. Two points that separate us at Net54 are that you can rant and be heard and we are more than just OP names, we are a good bunch of guys with high standards...at least, that has been my experience so far. Happy Holidays! -Raymond

Lots of perspectives
It is obviously impossible to please everyone. Earlier thread auctions have too big of increment. This thread bid increments too small and not uniform.
It all seems pretty petty. Seems like a lot of people just like to complain and try to modify all others to think and behave just like them. Good luck with that. I have participated in live auctions of heavy machinery and seen the auctioneer accept $50 bid on $100,000.00 piece of machinery because that person was a good customer. The moment we were expected to succumb to unwritten rules is the moment that political correctness and other personal freedoms were bypassed in our current society. As was pointed out earlier, the seller gets benefit of additional money(regardless of amount), a bump, Daddy War Bucks (the high increment bidder) is now out and may jump the bid again. The buyer gets a benefit because he can reevaluate his bid level and decide if he wants to bid again with very little added cost. To consider this an insult to someone is insulting in itself.

In my opinion small increments are fine and are the more intelligent way to bid. Why would I want to increase my bid 25 when I might be able to purchase the card for anywhere from 1 to 24 dollars cheaper if I bid in $1 increments. Likewise, I wouldn't be offended if I bid $25 more than the prior bid and someone upped me by a buck. More power to them.

The Titus auction was a bit of an anomaly, with all the attention surrounding the card lately. I think many potential buyers like their bidding ducks in a row -as we are used to it -- and if otherwise, maybe a few will get slightly bent out of shape. However, I've never heard back from the few auctions I've had that went out of expected sequence. I have had many a winner, regardless of others' bidding patterns, swoop in and nab an auction for a buck or two. I never hear a peep from underbidders regardless of the amounts of their bid. What is the difference if all bid amounts in a given auction are sequenced in an order from low to higher as the auction progresses, as opposed to being in staggered amounts throughout? The winner at the end is paying a $1 to pick up the tab, or said otherwise, drawing a deuce from his hand to take the pot.

Many interesting comments for sure. As many of you know, I have been listing 2-3 items a week in the Auction section for several months now and haven't put any bid increments in at all because so far it's never been a problem--Everyone seems to bid $1-$2 or more higher and that has been fine.
I do think I will request an even $1 increment (or more, depending on item value) in the future just to prevent someone from going .01 cent more, for example, and creating a hard feeling for the prior bid leader. (Personally I think a tiny .01 or .25 cent bid is not really being fair to the prior Bidder) I also must say that EVERY SINGLE person who has bought from me has been a great-fun experience & is FAR MORE satisfying than selling on EBay because of the personal connections I have made. I could mention names but the list of fine Net54 Buyers is waaaaayy too long!
