As for doublenicks, look at point 7. We have the means to trace them and will do so on doubtful cases.
I see...thanks for clarifying, but if in the case that A has the intention to cheat and states that he wants to be next in line, which is a common practice here...it is likely that the seller contacts the 2nd highest bidder. Not trying to create controversy here, but just trying to highlight the possibility of foul play and to protect the interests of other bidders. cheers
