Auction rules - do these seem odd to you?

   Actually, jaybmiller, if your $425 bid is your max for $500 total, then my $434.78 bid for $500 total just won against your $500 total bid..  Yay! I got the tractor!
While your rough math is close enough to be effective, we should really divide your max bid by 1.15, rather than multiply it by 0.85.

Sorry, just had to.  Not that it truly matters.

	that's OK, wife don't want me to get anymore tractors..... too much 'math'...I went 'old skool'. I know 15% of 100 bucks is 15, so 5x15=75, 75 crom 500 is 4 and a quarter. yeah, it's a 'cheat' but easy math on my brain these days.... Jay

	Lol, neither does mine... But... She has a horse. Isn't there an unwritten rule somewhere about 4 tractors per horse?
