[Jim]

I cry work!, or at least, I was going to, because this is ridiculous.

Even if it is not though, you two must be joking:

Jim had no idea who we were bidding on

However, I agree with D on the point about Jim's bid not counting since he didn't know who/what he was bidding on.

It was bloody obvious! At an auction you don't shout out "one hundred and twenty thousand dollars on that old chair, please !!" You just shout out "one 'undred twentee one k, k? !!"

... Alright, so maybe you just raise your hand, but the point remains, and that is that you don't need to specify what you are bidding on once bidding has opened. You merely signal your intention to raise it to the next level. In fact, you don't even have to raise your hand. Sometimes a simple nod will do.

Oh, but what if there are two auctions, what if there are two auctions... But there aren't!, and there weren't!

Anyway. I didn't read the whole thread, but I gather that bidding picked up from where it was before my bid, right?
