Open bids suck. Back in the day we had closed bids: after I bid on some ToV ranger weapons vs Ruffel everytime he took closed bids I always won stuff very close to my max bid (strangely this never happened when other officers were taking bids). However, when we changed to open bids people got too shy to bid and I would often get things for much cheaper.
Clearly there are a lot of shy people who just don't feel able to bid in an open system so open bid sytems are intrinsically flawed(!)
