I wonder if that is why they tried to pull their bid(s) ?

IDK Gary-it all looked rank to me-for a new person to jump in and bid 1000$???? and then retract nope dont have a good feeling about it! I dont want to get in trouble about my true opinion so ILl shut it now

Like maybe someone assumed a new BYC identity to bump the bidding? That's my current opinion. Hmmm....

That thought went through my mind, but I don't think that was the case. Otherwise they wouldn't have posted the "I want to retract". And it's hard to put a post count on people to bid. There are people here that have seperate screenames, sometimes multiple, just to bid on the auctions. They don't want people to know where they got some of their project additions just in case they hit it big.

I thought so too, but there are people who don't want anyone to know what they have going on and what they are trying to accomplish until they decide to release it. The other thing is the failure element, if it doesn't work out, then no one knows you were even attempting it.
