RodneyI have been in the buyer and seller position.
Either way I believe that last second bidding is WRONG.
I believe the seller has the RIGHT to receive the
top dollar he can for the merchandise he is selling.
This is straight CAPITOLISM in action.
I believe the buyer has the RIGHT to the option
of out bidding you if he chooses to.
Again this is CAPITOLISM in action.
As in any live auction that I know of,
a buyer has the RIGHT to outbid any bid.
This RIGHT is stripped from the buyer
by the last second bidding practice.
You just are trying to justify a
cheating practice that benefits you.
Tyrantical or selfish - pick one.
It is an unethical BUT legal practice.
