It dosnt really work that way. I could bid 30k and it the winner I outbid only has like 6k it will only jump up by 50 credits above the other bidder. It's too risky for me to start bidding because if other members stop bidding I'm in trouble as I never raised what you asked. I there lose my credits. I can't bid until the other members push it up that high, then I can jump in.
*I therefore lose my credits is what that was to say. I can only bid when you state it in the auction that I can and you'll ship. Only at that time can I start outbidding.
