Guru auction is glitched, when i try to buy items sometimes, when i bid an item, it says i need to bid higher, but its 2k over the last bidder + the bid increasement is 500. Does any1 know how to fix this? Because sometimes i have to bid like 60k for it just to work. and i only wanna bid 20

Thx

what that means, is someone bid higher than you.
Say the current bid is 10k, you want to bid lets say 20k. Even if you bid 20k, the guy who bid 10k may have and unseen bid of 60k. Only the bid that is needed to beat the other bid out is posted. This isn't a glitch at all imo.

It's called proxy bidding. There is a Help section in the auction that explains this. It's a standard on Ebay and is implemented in the Guru auction system as well.
