Is there something that 2nd bidder will get? Stuff I want have top bidder at 34k and I second at 24k. That, I think is still too much compared to current gem price. If the second bidder still get a copy for price he's currently bidding, I would rather cancel my bid.

The bids carry over so the 2nd bidder will become the first bidder for next round.

second bidder gets the next auction copy, unless someone outbids him so he can cancel his own bid =p

Second bidder will win the copy that ends next, assuming no one outbids them in the 45 minute gap.

This whole three day build up to the auction has been bizarre, we've essentially had one three day auction and now we'll have 99 auctions that last 45 minutes. I'd have almost preferred if they had just processed all one hundred at once, then having those bottom slots would have meant something and the whole thing would have been a little more interesting.

Edit: Lowest winning bid amongst the games I placed watch bids on is 3700 gems. The vast majority, even minor indies, are over 10k.
Edit: New top bid for that game is at 2700. I wonder if that means the top bidder paid 2800, or paid 3700?

Really? The only thing I'm even vaguely interested in is Left in the Dark

The Card game looks interesting as well.
Also, can't say no to Artifex Mundi. Solid bundle.

First auction round over.
Bids skyrocketed at the last instant.

KotorII went from 20.100 gems a minute before the end to 40.100 as the "winning" bid

Arthea, since I hate myself, I really think I should play a terrible RPG Maker game after I'm done with Memoria.
What's the single worst RPG Maker game you can think of that's available on Steam?

I've heard bad things about Victim of Xen, I can personally give a turd to Angels of Fasaria though. For all its wrongs Xen sounds like it is actually trying...

I'm bidding on about 8 games. With every single game, the top bid decreased by at least 40% after the round ended.
Click to expand...

There's quite a few where the top bid hasn't moved on my tracking list, meaning there were people that matched the previous top bid because... uh... lack of thinking it through?

Taking cross-region trading into account, nothing seems worth jumping on if you're low on gems, even the USD$150 Substance Painter -- it'd cost you just under $41 to buy 51k gems from the market but the app is $30.50 in Russia.

Also top bidder gets difference between first and second place returned, so actual prices might even be lower.

...are you sure it isn't the difference between what the winner pledged as a maximum bid and the final price?

Uh, I still don't get this auction thing. Is it all about converting cards to gems and using those gems either to bid on games on the marketplace or to sell it to others who cares?

I bought Shadow Of Mordor, can I run the Ultra HD texture pack with this:

CPU: Intel Core i7 - 4770k, s1150 @ 3.50Ghz
GPU: MSI Nvidia Geforce 970
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600 16GB DDR3
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 250GB

Since it says you need a 6GB graphics card, but I think I read people saying it ran fine even if you don't.
