Any questions?
A whole lot of behind-the-scenes effort going on to make this successful and fun!!! Thank you EVERYONE!!
Sorry….I do have a “techie” question…or two!. I’ve never used e-bay and not quite sure what this means::
“Proxy bids enabled (Like eBay). Enter your maximum bid for automatic incremental bidding.”
Enabled like eBay???
Maximum bid for auto incremental bid? …..Does that mean yoy “enter” what yoy “think” will be your highest bid right off the bat? Then the computer keeps track and automatically bids for you until it reaches your maximum bid??
So much detail has been put into this. Sorry I’m not grasping this!! Youve clearly gone to monumental effort to keep this simple for everyone. Welk, almost everyone! There has to be an exception!
This is soooo exciting!!!!!
Love!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Oh my gosh Sally you grasp it PERFECTLY. And you answered your own question, that is exactly how incremental bidding works.
