I dunno if glitch was the right word, but there seems to be a slight problem with the BIN function of an SC I bid on. SC +14 is the one I was bidding on, being sold by Johnnywas. I had the min bid around 10 AM this morning, but hit the BIN button about 10 minutes ago. My internet was cutting out around this time intermittently, so I thought that was the problem, but loading the page back up showed I had a bid of 450k, with the buyout being the same price. 2 Other people have placed bids of the same price, but it just shows us with the same bid and no one (hopefully me) has won. Thanks!

On my 'My Auctions' page Trashcan is showing as the winning bid.

Trashcan, you have the earliest bid, and therefore, the winning one. You will get the SC, the money will be refunded to the others, this has happened to a few people before.

I didn't actually lose any money (I don't think). It gave me the same message you get when someone already has a max bid set above whatever bid you just made.

The same thing happened to me yesterday when I hit the BIN on an MCM that had 6 hours left. I bid on it, then decided I wanted it NOW, so used the BIN, and then had to wait 6 hours to get it. It also said that bidding was disabled. I had just presumed it was a change I was not aware of.

Apparently there is a bug when you bid on an auction, then BIN later... I'll try to fix it tonight or tomorrow.

Jon - is that a bug or an undocumented feature? ;)
