Just a quick thing.
Wanted to test how sensitive auctions were, so had The_Black_Heart bid 20k (max bid) on a level 20 Fire Familiar. Then I cane back and bid 20001.
In my opinion, the two bids should be tied. A winning bid should have to be the next valid increase up. Otherwise, I could bid 2000001 on stuff, and beat someone who bid 2 million flat. Or do people thing that extra 1 CB should mean I get to beat someone?
My suggestions would be to have a drop down menu of -all- valid bids (you know, where it says next bid increment, it lets you pick the one you want) instead of entering a number.
Or, does everyone think it's fine?

Or, instead of a drop down menu, you have to bid in increment of at least... 20k? 10k? 100k?
Something to stop 1 CB bid wins.

this is a lesser problem than awarding auctions to someone other than the high bidder would be

(it is also a lesser problem than violating bid secrecy would be, which you'd have to do to force a larger bid delta)
