Sorry, my fault, I was not clear on my terminology. I used "reserve" incorrectly. Last day auction fuzz...

The bid would jump directly to the high price they entered. For example, if the auction was currently priced at $1000.00 and the bid increment was $25, a bidder would enter a bid of $1200 and click on Bid Agent, and the auction would jump directly to $1200 instead of $1025, even with no other bidders.

In the item .dat file, the high price was entered in both the first and second brackets, for instance []1200.00[]1200.00[]

it should instead have looked like []1025.00[]1200.00[] I believe.

What's the 'high price' you mentioned?
BTW: are you sure you dowloaded and installed the latest version?

Not To Confuse The Matter
=================

a. I added the suggested code change/modification as directed in [Reply 12 01/14/06 05 01 04]

b. I DID NOT download the current version 1.6.1 because I had made so many changes to my version that I had only downloaded about Dec/05

Result using the same scenario above:
=========================
Works ok as it should and does not jump to 'reserve price'

???Do you think the 'current' version may not contain the 'EXACT' change/modification as referenced in Reply 12 above???

*I am sure the 'tester' above verified that the sub routine was as in Reply 12.

Just my results that may help the two of you - for what it is worth!!!

The high price was the price they wanted the bid agent to bid up to, $1200 in the example I gave.

I downloaded the version directly from the link on the top right of Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!! You need to Login or Register!!
and uploaded the .pl which resulted in the same error and the problem of the HTML not working in the description.

Ah well, my auction is ended and will not come up again for another year so by then I will donate some $$ to you for the 1.6.2 and start from a fresh copy. Thanks for your help in looking at this matter.
