Wait... Is there or is there not a 5 million minimum bid increase?????? If not then I bid 47 mil and 1 isk for the Caracal BPO. If there is then my 45 Mil bid still is high bid...

Sorry, I didn't go back and reread all the posts to see there was yet another change in the minimum bid. This is ridiculous.

You are correct, 5 mil is too high. But what sucks is the auction went like this:
1 Mil bid increase, oh look there are a few bids, let's make them jump up real high, I'll change the minimum bid to 5 Million, wee hee. Oh look, all the bids went up by 5 Mil, now let's see if we can squeeze a few more mil out of each one by lowering the minimum bid, wee hee.
Classic bait and switch scam. This auction is a scam, plain and simple.

No, you didn't offend me, you are playing by the rules that are changed on a minute by minute basis apparently. The seller offends me greatly however, I would not have raised the bid from 40 to 45 million had the minimum bid not been 5 million. I would check the print out very carefully before I took it off escrow if I were you, if a seller will scam a seller will scam...

Uh no, I am out. I just can't see going on with this. Don't be surprised when the minimum bid changes to 500k and the auction is extended another day.
Changing the rules in the middle of an auction is bad business. This is a scam no matter what you want to call it. I would have never bid 45 mil when I did had the minimum bid increase not been 5 mil. You changed the minimum bid to try and get more bids in. You changed the rules in the middle of an auction, that's a scam.
Already you're talking about changing the rules again. Just leave things where they are and sell your prints. If you should ever have an auction again, stick by the rules you set forth when you make the auction. If you see they were a bad idea, learn from them by changing the rules on your next auction, not the one that is currently running.
