Bid History

Bidder Date - Time Bid
user2 01.11.06 - 16:34:26 $36.00      
user1 01.11.06 - 16:33:34 $34.00      
user2 01.11.06 - 16:32:43 $15.00      
user1 01.11.06 - 16:31:39 $5.00


The proxy-bid of user1 has been stored at: 34.00
The high-bid was: 15.00
The increment is: 5.00

user2 bids: 36.00
36.00 is > 15.00 + 5.00 (so the bis is valid)

The proxy-bid (34.00) is > 15.00 + 5.00 (so it is valid too)
Both of them are > 15.00 + 5.00 and so both of them are valid but 36.00 is > 34.00 and so the bid of user2 beats the proxy-bid of user1.

See the code of: sub proc_bid

I tried to follow the 'code' referenced and everything seems to work ok with my scenario/test as long as I do not have a RESERVE.

When there is a RESERVE... when bidding approaches the RESERVE it seems to grab the RESERVE as the 'last high bid' instead of the true 'last high bid' and it is not accurate after that point.

I will try to run several scenarios and document it.  I have done about five this morning and they are do the same thing when it approaches the RESERVE.  I can not determine 'what' it is doing or where the problem is but it is changing the intended process.  It seems to be grabbing the RESERVE instead of true 'last high bid' and adding the 'bid increment' to it as the 'high bid' which is several dollars more than the current bidder bidded.

I am wondering if the other board member 'GSCOTTY' posted here had a RESERVE in the example he/she posted.  That scenario is what I am finding IF there was a RESERVE.

Thanks for your help.

Yes - if there is a RESERVE and the proxy bid is higher as the RESERVE is, then the (stored and displayed) bid is equal the RESERVE.

P.S.
I did the proxy bidder as a picture of a 'real' auction - but everybody can change the code in order to make it met his own ideas.
