That seems awfully stupid. Why wouldn't they let you cancel a bid? You can cancel a bid on the CE market, but you can't cancel a bid on the AH? If I had known that, I would have been much more cautious, but there was no indication that my bid was going to be set in stone.

It's because I'm used to blind auctions, and it's late so my brain is half turned off. Blind auctions, for the unaware, is when you bid on an item and your bid is matched against the asking prices. If it matches or exceeds the asking price, you get the item. If not, your bid remains posted until someone posts the item with an equal or lower asking price. All either person knows is how many of the item are currently posted, how many people are bidding on the item, and the last five prices it was sold for.

Anyways, that's blind auctions, not the same system, like I said it's from City of Heroes and I'm used to it. I made a mistake and on the internet that's like dangling your ass in front of a pack of starving wolves. Just let the thread die now.
