This seems like the best place for this--it is a kind of news item, and maybe someone's comments can enlighten me on what's going on.
This is a cut-and-paste from a current auction at sedo--My questions: Why are there two bids in a row from the same bidder, and why the huge jump in bids from Bidder 7 from 1,050 to 5,200? (I have left the domain name itself out)...

Looks like bidder 7 had his bid automatically placed by sedo but the system didn't place the "Bid automatically placed by sedo" in the line (note the 10:36 am bid times for bidder 7 and 8). i.e. Bidder 8 placed his higher bid at 10:36. At least that's my take on itWhy question it - you're gonna make some good cash man!

Even if you look at bidder one, two bids in a row.
Anyone can do this. If I place a bid for 1000 and shortly after I figure "what the heck, I want to go for it" and place a bid for 1500 a few moments later, both bids are separate bids, I still have to record them, and they will end up in the end for total bids counted.

Hi, everyone--
Thanks for the replies. By the way, I was just curious about this auction and how sedo works--it's not my domain (although I wish it was!).
Again, thanks!
