    Bidding Increments--Disturbing

    Please, please--someone start investigating the bidding irregularities on Mystery Auctions.
    I just placed a bid for $63 on the SW US auction and the next bid requires $66 as minimum.
    WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO $1 INCREMENTS??
    I am not the only one who has noticed and has complained. At least one community member has sent an email questioning the current problems with bidding. I hope he gets a reply soon. I'd like to see this addressed to the general community. I think it's important that LL be consistent regarding rules when we are bidding on purchases.
    Thank you for checking this.

    The official LL Mystery Auction rule states:
    Bidding starts at just $1, and incremental bids are also just $1
    LL please check what is happening to the Mystery Auction Bidding.

    I also had hope that we'd have an answer by now.


    Rules Changed for Mystery Auction Minimum Bids?

    Now that the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is over, I believe (hope) an administrator will be getting in touch with us shortly.

    I see $3 increments. It was at $40, so I tried to bid $41 just to test, and it said $43 min. I bid $43 and it said $46. This is SO wrong on so many levels. I seriously qustion my last mystery auction purchase.

    It looks like they fixed the glitch. The bidding increments for both auctions are at $1.
