... I wont jump in on that since you are the only one that claims auctions have to run the way you think.

...

I'm not claiming anything. Every single real auction description appears to contradict you. I'd ask for you to at least point to anywhere on this forum in your description or elsewhere that this rule is spelled out but it doesn't appear you are even willing to entertain the possibility of being wrong. When is the deadline for payment?

But you seem to want to keep going so let's test your theory. Name a place that runs auctions the way you claim except apparently auctions here. I'm certainly open to learning if I'm wrong. Maybe in different places of the world it's different.

I would want the payment before the next div payment since friedcat seems to change shares to new owners before he pays out the divs.

I was noticed that dutch auctions are backward auctions in the first place. I already did such auction for my bitburners once and it was good. And there you bid and pay the price you bid too. No rule like you claimed included.

What place should i tell you? Practically every auction works the way that you pay the price you bid. Only because there are special forms for bidders that cant be there when the auction runs doesnt make this a general rule. I dont even know an auction where it runs the way you claim. Except ebay of course.

Could we bring this to an end maybe? I wont give you a discount for a rule i didnt specify. Only that you assumes a rule applies doesnt make your believe binding to me.

Ebay works in the exact way Seb ran his auction. In fact in order to cancel a bid you need the sellers permission. Bids are binding.

I think ebay is like he wants it to. If you bid 35USD on an item and the next highest bid is 20USD then the highest bidder only has to pay 20.5USD or so. But thats something special that isnt used in any other auction. For example police auctioning seized things, government auctioning leftovers, sotheby's and and and... its a special rule and only believing that such rule exists in this auction doesnt make it binding for me then.
