Reply to "dutch auction"

You know the bid history display has changed in dutch auctions, right? Actual amounts of (edit) WINNING (end edit) bids are no longer shown, only the current price. BUT... the winners are still in bid amount order, highest on top.

Yes, I've thought about it.

If you only want one, it should be easy to figure because you can see the lowest winning bid. Your snipe should be one increment higher plus a few cents buffer incase of another minimum bid comming in.

If you want more than one, it's a little more complicated, but still possible. You should nibble your way up the list bidding for a quantity of one. (bids are still listed in amount order even though only the current price is shown) Do this 30 minutes or so before auction end. When you get high enough in the list to have the number of items you want below you, including your current bid, stop. Near auction end, check to make sure you have not moved down in the list, and snipe your current bid for the quantity you want.

Does that make sense? Does that sound right?
