(2) Went for 47K instead of 54K
(3) Went for 46K instead of 66K
(4) Went for 60K instead of 85K
(5) Went for 42K instead of 61K

In three out of these four cases, the "winning" bid is lower than the value. I still believe that some people rig this auction by entering a high bid from an CPlus account that doesn't have, but discouraging others from continuing to bid. CP should change this to a blind bidding process, or perform an on-line points verification and "hold".
