Whats your take on dipstick bids in overture? I can understand why someone would bid 98 pence to keep a high position (ie number 1) when the closest bidder is only 10p. They get to keep number 1 and only pay 11p in overture. We have a policy of making them pay their maximum bid price by bidding 97 pence even though it costs us money sometimes. Not through spiteful behaviour, simply we can not be bullied into second place simply because someone makes their bids so high knowing that most people will never bid aboce them when it is set that high,

Whats other peoples opinions on this, do they deserve it? I mean we cant accept number 2 when the realistic bid on an items is perhaps only 15p or something? I just see it as pointless having to bid below them and then watch it every day to recorrect bids once they get hit with a 50 pound bill for only a small handful of clicks.

Who did it really benefit in the end? Overture only i guess, the poor sods, some of them maybe on this forum had to fork out hundreds of pounds in clicks when they didnt need to if they only made sensible bids to begin with, or is bidding super high amounts not considered stupid, simply agressive perhaps?
