People are just updating their bids (thinking that high bid wins outright) at WHC and when 2 or more do that, we suddenly get a bidding war on a domain WHC didn't even win.
It's just newbs who think they're winning, when they're actually losing.
As you can see from the pre-auction bid-ups at WHC, newbies seem to be flooding into .CA as if this is some get-rich quick scheme. It's like a kid in a candy shop - everything looks great!
You can't help these people, so just let them buy all the crappy domains they can afford, as they'll eventually figure it out when the renewals bills come due.
Beat me to it - if you watch the live bidding, there is a new bidder name that sits there for a second, before being replaced by 'd41d8'.
Seems like the Grape auction logic is all screwed up, or the system was not designed to handle a 2-bidder contest like this, with monstrously-sized proxies.
You have to watch very close, as the Bidder Name only FLASHES quickly on the screen, then is replaced by "d41d8". No way you could get a screenshot of it.
