Rules are rules, and if you get outbid within the rules, no reason to complain, let alone feel bitter.  But I can think of one rule change that might increase the excitement along the lines of a "live" auction, increase the funds raised, and give those who feel sniped a chance to do something constructive about it.  Since the bids are time-stamped, after the "closing" time, allow a set number of minutes for counter-bids.  Then, let successive counter bids continue until an offer stands without being topped for that number of minutes.

Once again, not trying to upset any one.  I have no problem being outbid, even by a buck.  But in the spirit of the auction, I am trying to urge everyone to add a bit more.  Skip a couple of coffees or a snack or two if times are lean and give it to help others.

I think if there is going to be bitter feelings over being out bid by $1 then have minimum bid increments. 0-$50 should have $1 between bids.$50-$100 $2 increments, $100-$250 $5 increments and so on or bid high enough no one is going to challenge your bid.

It's the $1 snipe that I think causes the frustration.

So, if a person snipes, well, snipe with class and bid at least $5 more.

Bid for the kids.

I thought we were RAISING money for kids. Sounds like everyone should get a trophy so their feelings don't get hurt. I learned from some of the best on my very first auction, don't be a whiner, have fun, raise money, focus on what really matters, the kids.   :D    :thumbsup:

DOC NOC, You got it right.
One feller out bid himself at least 3 times to win a custom bow.$100 a pop. that was a good thing from the guy who could. This auction thing is pretty cool,Shows the good spirit of good folk.

I'm just glad we figured out how to stop the server from crashing like it did for the early years....so many bids piled in at the last minute that lots of bids got hung up and the time stamp was some times up to 10 minutes late for a lot of bids...lots of money was left on the table back then.

Now that we have it on a different domain, more work for us of course, we don't have that problem anymore.

Well, I was getting outbid on all items I bid on. So, I just offered to match the highest bid on one of my listed items. I'm sure it's gonna hurt...but it's for the kids after all.

Very well said, leaves you saying "crap" or worse.  I had my bid that has stood for several days out sniped in the last 2 minutes of Auction 2 to tonight. I think I was 5 seconds too late to counter-snipe,    :biglaugh:
But I guess all is fair since the kids are reaping the ultimate benefits.
