its profitable before because no one bid a huge amount at the last minute and threw it all off lol. if you bid less [like both those bots i watched you bid on should have been more than 0.5 to $1 bids] you would have made more $$ and not screwed everyone else. just look at how much the bot is worth vs how much is in the bid before you vote and go for less. less is more unless you;re going with a big bot with high vote weight... understand? It took me a bit to get it as well, but now that I get it I never make bad bids..unless someone shows up at the end and bids way too high....>>
