as we all know, for whatever reason people occasionally retract bids - they popped the item in the meantime, decided they don’t want to spend that much cash on something, whatever. could it be possible to show highest and 2nd highest bidder in chopping block, so if person who actually wins the auction backs out, the item can still go to someone who wants/needs it without it being rechopped or the seller having to keep a running track of who has bid what? (yes i’m lazy as hell)
Actually, this isn’t a bad idea. Even better would be if there was an option to ‘withdraw’ from the auction if you are the high bidder.
Only real problem I see with it is if people start using it to inflate bids artificially… which is a problem with or without the feature.
