So, I set up an auction for Stables level 2 Blueprints. I set the minimum bid to 5000 SC. However, the current highest bid is 4500 SC, and the first bidder bidded 1000 SC? Either that or I'm forgetting I set the starting bid for 1000 SC and it's not showing me.

 

Here's the text:

Current Bid: 4500
Minimum Bid: 5000
Minimum Increment: 500
Buyout Price: 20000

Quantity: 1
Time remaining:

11 hrs 44 mins

Oh did this happen to you too? I thought I'd just misstyped the starting price of 100 on one of my lots but someone managed to bid only 1.

I saved that by bidding my own lot up so it came back to me at least, no text to show since it's over though.

So I'm not just crazy! Because I definitely recall intending to set the starting bid at 5000.

Thanks for reporting!

Actually this is a confusing title only. It's meant to be a current minimum bid (not a start bid), that is current bid+minimum increment. The start bid for your auction is 1000 Silver Coins, it's visible in the lot list. I changed the title to "Current Minimum Bid".

Should we show the start bid there instead?

Sorry for the inconveniece.

Ah, okay, thanks for clearing this up!

Maybe it would be good if you showed both?

Ok :) Now both starting bid and current minimum bid are showed.

Thanks!
