If it can prevent a THIRD person from spending over $6000 on a single Bemon, then it's worth the extra brain power required...
First time it happened, I could believe it was a decimal error... the second time... not so much...

Whoa. So what is Celga / YJA's stance on this? Is the bid cancelled or do you have to follow through (binding contract thing a la eBay) or what?

from celga site
"Second... and this is really an important note... there is no way to retract a bid once it has been placed on Yahoo Japan. So be very, very sure you want to bid on something, and how much you're willing to pay, before you place your own bid."

Don't you have to transfer 50% of your max bid to celga before they place your bid? And if so, wouldn't you notice that you're sending $3000 instead of $300?

And I don't think logang made a mistake. He isn't that stupid. He is just crazy enough to spend 6000 dollars on a toy.

Well, it would be the 2nd time this week someone made the same mistake on a Bemon for the same price...

As someone else said, I can see the first one being an honest mistake. This one, not so much.
Also, isn't there someone else out there that's driving these up that high? I can't imagine more than one person is willing to spend that kinda money. Are there YJA shill bidders? There's gotta be!
