this is the second time I’ve seen this… I’m guessing (hoping?) trout fixed the auction code so that it bumps your bid to reserve if you met it, but the auction didn’t get that high

Yup, this is exactly what it is. I TMed trout to ask him if he could change it to update the bid to reserve, in case “current bid” < “reserve” < “max bid” at the end of an auction, as I had lost out on like 8 straight auctions this way because other people weren’t bidding. He later got around to making it work this way.

Hooray ET!
