I'm supposed to get the money ,Connie K. ;)

snubs and ODH, the money goes to me. If the highest bidder bid 5 dollars, he would have to pay me 5, and I would pay him 10 cents. Auction stops tomorrow at 8 PM my time....about 4 PM EST.

No, that's why it's called Dollar auction because I auction parts of a dollar. You should have read page one better.

That's not how moontide ran his and you said that is what you based it after.

On Moontide's you bid for a dollar and the top two people pay you but you only have to give the top bidder the money.

It's said right there. The highest bidder pays the amount he bid, and I give it to him, but the second highest bidder pays and gets nothing!

and I made it clear that I didn't read the first post because I saw dollar auction and figured it would be an actual dollar auction, not a ten cent auction. If you were going to make a ten cent auction you should name the thread ten cent auction, not dollar auction.

Well, if you read it, you would have known. I can't be blamed. The first post ALWAYS explains what needs to be going on. If I made a thread about polar bears, you might say, "I like them." But I might have asked, "Do you think they're going extinct?" That's why you need to read Post one.

but then the topic name is misleading and should be named 10 cent auction, anyways if you charge me for that ten cents when I pulled out I won't pay it.

I won't charge you, but the title is Dollar Auction because I'm giving away DIFFERENT amounts of money each time. That's why you had to read post one.

Don't forget that the second highest bidder has to pay the amount he bid without getting any money. \:D/
