| I did a search to find this answer, on mycomicshop's site and here in the forum, but no luck. New to bidding at mycomicshop, looking for info from the experienced buyers. What are the bidding increments - same as eBay or will $1 more beat you at any level at mycomicshop? |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Thanks, @flanders. I see that it is the same as eBay, once you hit $100. Ebay has 3 other smaller increments if under $100, but then the 2 match up. | ||

| I believe that $1 more will beat your bid if it was put in as max bid before your bid. For example, if someone put in $141 while the book is at $50...I'm quite sure it will beat out a later bid of $140. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia That's the way it works on eBay, so probably true at mcs, too. That can happen by sheer luck (bad luck), but it's kind of a rare thing. I think it's more likely on eBay because people bid at the last second, no extension. The way I understand it at mcs, if an earlier proxy bid beat yours by $1, you could still do a live bid at the next increment to beat it. IF you are there to do it in real time. If it's proxy vs. earlier $1 higher proxy, you lose. |

 I blame the forum gremlins.

| There's no sniping at MCS either because last second bids extend the auction. If you're there in real time you will always have a chance to bid again. And yes, a secret high bid will outbid all lower ones regardless of when placed, same as feeBay. | ||

| Looks like you've all covered this all correctly for me. As Flanders posted, the bid increments are listed on the bidder agreement page https://www.mycomicshop.com/auctions/bidderagreement And as suggested by chester15, I've added the bid increment info to https://www.mycomicshop.com/help/bidding |
