So, you deleted all the other comments and the other "information." For the record, I am guessing that most people were like me. There was no explanation of the bidding system. No one wants to go blindly into a system. Most bids involve upfront money. Most people don't want to chance losing their money. Therefore, they wait until they last day to see where the bidding is. I would call this seller negligence. I understand it is always caveat emptor. However, you made this more of unfair vendit exercitia. IMO
