I bid on this event, thought it would be fun. What I find interesting is that someone or computer outbid me on my auction, however, there are two packages that have zero bids on them?? Why would someone want to outbid me for say 1500 points, and not start at 1000? Does spg have a auto computer that auto bids, to drive the points higher? I'm sure not, but seems odd that someone would out bid me, when they can grab a auction that has no bids. I'm well aware, that it's not going to end this cheap, and will go higher, but just got me thinking if there is some computer involved??
