Early Inland on GB

[Hercules Powder]

Current high bidder must see something about this gun he really likes. He’s bidding against himself…. not really but he has bumped his own bid twice.

backing his bid up

I do see a small ordnance escutcheon in the sling well, its an early stock, its got the early trigger housing retaining pin with spring, however water got into it at one point..its rusted Whatever caused the corrosion, is a pity

He's not bidding against himself. It's the proxy bid system upping his bid when someone else bids higher than the current posted bid but not as much as the high bidder entered for his maximum bid.

[Garandrew]

Right Brian, thats still backing his bid up, as hes bid higher than the current price, when someone else bids, it raises above their bid, he could have bid 4K

[BrianQ]

Obviously you don’t understand how the proxy bid system works.

[Garandrew]

I think you bid your highest? It bids on your behalf, while youre busy?

[Bill Hollinger]

Why???

[Garandrew]

If you really want something, and you cant be watching, you need to boost your most generous offer

I think the proxy bidding is the older time stamp bids, but he us also raising his maximum bid. That is why you get the older and newer time stamps on the bids. I went to 2450 as that is all I can do right now and the proxy bid went to 2500 over me. Then a few minutes later the high bidder puts in a higher max bid. There were no bids between mine and the proxy as he was still the high bidder then another bid from him tells me he was upping his max bid.
