Please be very careful what you wish for.

I'm waiting for a kettle bidding war where the final price is more than a FULL J/C fare.

Or DL could imitate some of the online auction sites that charge you for every bid.

BTW, why set a minimum bid? Even a small amount of money is profit? Yes, I know, the integrity of that premium cabin.
