Avedon- i never wait THAT long....I always bid within five minutes.....and Mike Longo has it set up so if you bid at the last second it resets itself for five more minutes so you always have a chance to bid higher....I think its as fair as it can be...its an auction so its all about the highest bidder....you just have to set a limit and stay within it...Im really sorry that happened to you i know that it sucks...there were several seed crosses i really wanted and this one in particular with Hooked i got in a last five minutes bidding war with two other people and i gave up because they just kept upping the anti...theres a seed cross i want to bid on today and the same two are already fighting over it...im just like oh no! not again......def let us know your screename so we dont bid against you!
