Why do an auction if your not going to let the best bid win? if your not happy with the price then next time just set an honest price you would like to get and stick to it.
For example eBay, while delivering greatest exposure, has quite flawed auction mechanics.
But selling at fixed price imposes harsher fees. Although when I think about it - I can just set higher price to cover those fees. That's something to think about.

The whole premise is that it didn't go above anyone's maximum. Let's pretend that StarSoccer was willing to bid BTC65. He was winning at BTC61. Garr comes along when there were no other bidders and bids BTC62, forcing StarSoccer to bid BTC63 (a difference of BTC2, had Garr not interfered).
And then StarSoccer says - "screw you guys, I'm going home" in a Cartman's voice
And if all had stuck to that principle - Garr would have to PM StarSoccer with some lie like this "that last guy never paid, you interested" or in a direct way "i shilled, will you buy at your price -10 %?"
