Post-Reg Auction
My first time in at BareMetal Auction and I decided to stop until I find out how it works.
I'm bidding on a domain and it stays red, I increase the bid and it stays red.
When I click on the domain I see my last two bids but no higher bid, so why am I not the high bidder?
So I'm thinking I have to keep bidding until it turns green but since I can only see myself bidding I don't want to bid against myself.
So I stopped now to get a further explanation.
Might be nice to have for future members as well.

Yep, when you bid and it stays Red that means you're still hitting up against the current high bidder's proxy/higher bid.
When it changes to Green, then you're the man.
So how do you know what the highest bidder is?
Seems a waste of time to keep bidding without knowing what the highest bid is, I keep hitting the drop down again and again and all I see is my own bids.
So say someone is $800 bucks higher than me I have to hit the drop down how many times and bid to find that out. Should it not just show me the high bid? I understand keeping the proxy bids silent but I should be able to see the highest bid.
So imagine having 20 domains to bid on, how do I manage that without being able to just glance at the highest bids to make my decisions?

The whole point of a proxy bid is to keep it hidden. And you do see their highest current bid, just not their hidden proxy bid.
It's like that everywhere and yes, when I'm on WHC or MyID with a lot of auctions (I've had 30+ during the Restricted Domain Madness) it can get crazy at the very end.

Yes I understand the proxy bidding but the current high bid should be displayed.
For instance a proxy bidder can have a proxy of $1000 and still be the highest bidder at $800
The $800 should be visible to other bidders as the high bid right?
