What I don't buy is how keeping an auction going by raising the increment (which is essentially what an auction is) can be considered annoying or stupid.
On ebay you HAVE TO put in your max bid no matter what because the auction hammers down exactly at a given time, so make sure your max bid is in by that time or you lose. But on emovie you don't have to do that, you can simply raise the increment and keep the auction going, ie, what an auction is supposed to be like for those who've gone to real auctions.
If poster A is currently at $100, why would i "commit" to a max $200 bid if I don't have to? All that does in handcuff me vis-a-vis potential "other posters"... I would have to wait until the poster A auction is done to see if I win or not, before bidding again elsewhere so i run the risk of losing out elsewhere. Makes more sense to drag it out, wait it out, keep some options on the table etc. If that's annoying to others, well, all's fair in love and posters...
And Jay, as weird as it sounds i hope you were in the hospital visiting someone else who was ill
