TBSS Sale

[Ronnie Dee]

Shiver, a dirt router, got the "wow" comment and went 58.59. I already own Screech (a half brother) from last year's auction. I'm collecting the whole family! I wasn't around for the last 2 hours but my $751k stood up. Does anybody know if I won with an underbid? I'm very curious.

Unless some really strange things happened in the last 13 seconds (my last data point before the end), your bid of $751K stood up as you had the top bid with 13 seconds to go.

I think the following horses were won on underbids:
Classless
Lily Flowers
On and On
Phantom Whispers
Ruler of All
Spinning of Stars
To the Bank
Tom and Jerry
Town and Country

italics indicates underbid was only $1K lower (based on my data with 13 seconds to go)
bold indicates underbid was more than $50K lower than the top bid

[Louise Bayou]

At the end I had 3 top bids and got Black at a Funeral, so Classless and On and On were underbid winners. And by the way he went 4f on the dirt in 46.32

hmm strange I never saw anyone but alex's name on Ruler of All

I think selling TBS horses to me because I can't be around for the end of a lot of auctions is becoming some sort of SIM cottage industry. Or something.

Michelle had a bid of 1,189,432 on Ruler of All at the end. I actually have a PDF of the auction at 0 seconds remaining, before the underbids, and one post underbids.

Superior Being was won on an underbid also, I was high bid on him and Storybook Finale. Looking at the workout times, I would appear that once again my jinx with TBS horses is in effect.

[Todd Lucas]

I was lucky enough to get Superior Being on the underbid. I had a bid on him with 8 seconds left and wasn't happy that I got outbid after that by the time the sale ended. I was happy to see I got him when the final sale was set and elated to see he worked in 58.34 and galloped with a wow! My first wow purchase and a potential derby horse!

[Tammy Fox]

I didn't get any of the three I had bids on including Tom and Jerry. Oh well, no big deal or loss, I was happier spending time with my daughter and watching her learn new things in her swim lessons then screaming at the top of my lungs at my computer at the last minute because I couldn't get any bids in like in the past, definintly much more relaxing away from the TBS Auction.
Good Luck to all with their new purchases. I will happily keep racing my poor ole homebreds

[Marzy Dotes]

I had two bids I think right at the end but everything's so fast and furious, it's so hard to keep up...

Dan, your bid stood if I recall.

[Melissa Mae]

Did anyone else have a problem with it letting you bid? I just had a bid on one horse but when I went to up my bid, it wouldn't let me and told me I only had 145k in my account when I really had 525k. I double checked to make sure I only had one bid. I found that weird.

[Ara Davies]

Whenever you go to bid, if you have previous bids, the amount of those bids is subtracted from your total bankroll and the remaining amount is how much you are allowed to use for any additional bids. This is true even if you are trying to increase a previous bid (the game doesn't care if the new bid is on the same horse as before or on a new horse).

I'd like to mention here that I find that kind of silly. You shouldn't need 1.5 million in your account to increase a 700k bid on a horse to a 750k bid on the same horse. You should only need 750k to do that.

Thanks, I didn't realize you couldn't increase your own bid on a horse. I knew it was true if you had multiple horses and that was what was so confusing to me. Oh well, it gives me more money for the next auction.

Melissa you can increase the bid as long as you have more left in your account than your current bid e.g. if you have 501k in your account and bid 250k you can up your bid to a maximum of 251k until you are outbid!

This change in the bidding process has been a pain
