due to idiots who bid up auctions needlessly with small increments
Just because someone is a novice user or and unaware of sniping doesn't make
them an idiot.
Plenty of normal and educated people who aren't technical like us understand
"auction" to be "you bid this, than I bid that plus a little more, and we
go
back and forth until someone stops bidding."
Your statement is just another example of why we nerds are often considered
rude and socially clueless -- saying things like "you don't know how to do
it, so you must be an idiot."
Jim, I know you and I know you are not an idiot (plus I'm not a fan of
name-calling), but that * statement * was pretty idiotic. :)
