eBay auction style
An eBay style auction system would favor managers that are not online as much as others, since they would not have to stay online to follow up a bidding round. Instead of placing bids, you would place a max bid that would work as a kind of bid agent: If someone outbids you, then your bid is raised automatically until you either take the lead in the bidding or your max bid limit is exceeded. Read more for a great example on how this could work.
Example: 3 users are bidding on a player (playerX):
User1 is on HT all the time.
User2 logs on once at the start of the bids and once at the end.
User3 logs in once halfway through the auction.
Start:
User1 bids £2000 (shows on the system as £1000).
User2 sees the £1000 and bids £7000. This is shown on the system as £3000.
User1 sees his bid has been beaten and bids £5000. The bid then shows he still isnt lead bidder and shows that user2 is winning with a bid of £6000.
User1 then bids £8000 to become lead bidder. The bid shows on the system as £8000.
User 3 logs in and bids £12000, and takes the lead. Bid now shows £9000.
User1 Bids 11k, his personal maximum. The bid now shows that he has been outbid and that the bid currently stads at £12000, made by user3.
User 2 logs in again at the end and bids £20000. The bid now shows as £13000.
This could continue until the end of the auction, and there is normally a surge at the end where if user1 had more money he could put some last minute bids in.
I.e. If he bid 18k he still wouldnt be winning but the price of the player would show as 19k
For this examples sake, we’ve just used a £1000 increment for every bid. In Hattrick the minimum increase would be what ever is biggest of 10.000 and 10%, as the rules are now.
This idea was proposed by GunnerNO, manager of River Ridge Green Wave (229217) in USA, in thread 6033575 on the Global forums. HAF-ugzy2005, manager of VALE Madrid (54624) in England, wrote the excellent example above that described the system in detail.
