I saw the black bg for sale 2 times I think until this time

And giving the item to the last bidder is what an auction is ... so I really don't understand why you say the sistem is stupid... And aslo you can't bid against yourself , but you can make another bid after you were outbided

Anyway , please don't think of quitting just because you lost an item :(

i agree with milky you should just save up and wait until it gets sold again

Sooo, enough depri, drank some tea xD

still need to clean up all those mats x.x

@Miky90
But normal auctions go 1-2-3 after the last bid, so everyone who wants to place another bid can do so...

Imagine a reallife auction with this system xD

auctions so dont work like that xD

yeah , I understand what you mean , but to tell you the truth I lost an auction back in the selling thred cuz of a 1 sec to late post also . So even than it was more to the owner of the item to say when the auction is over . Once she/he would have sent the trade there was no way to make anther bid on the item
I also think that before was riscky as well , because unlike now when you know the second when an auction ends , in the selling area you could have posted a bid thinking " this is the last bid and the time has expired , now I'm safe" and than get overbid waiting for the trade XD .
I guess both sistems have there ups and downs ,in the end it comes down to witch sistem you prefer the most

other than these sistems I don't think there can be another , cuz it would take to much to post the countdown ( the "3, 2,1 SOLD" )

@Miky90

I still dont get it why :3
I mean think of Yahoo Japan, if ya bid last minute the remaining time is set back to 1min or something...
So I absolutely dont get it why everyone favours the "ebay system" (that already sux at ebay xD) instead of using a system with timer reset o.o

I like the "ebay system" better because I was able to get items cheeper , to be honest . It's pretty much a matter of luck , but because everyone is waiting until the last seconds to bid , some of them didn't get to and the winner can get the item at even half the price . I got my Vampire Scenary that way :)

And not to mention that considering how rare some of the items around are and how much people want them , the auction would probably be extended a half an hour until the last bet XD

But isnt it the reason to make an auction to sell something to the highest bidder? Otherwise you could just set a buy now price or make it a lottery o.o

I mean sure its cool for the winner, who got the items cheap, but neither for the other bidders nor for the seller is the system beneficial o.o
