What is Bid Increment? (A)

[Minnie_Aegyo]

I'm selling and bidding out an item.
I entered the number I wanted to.

But before I click sell, I wanted to know what the bid increment was? And what it does and stuff...

Thanks ahead of time :]

Hey there, Minnie_Aegyo!

The "bid increment" is just what it sounds like - it's the amount of gold that other users are going to have to dish out in order to beat the previous bet. For example, let's say that you put your original bid at 1,000g and your bid increment is set at, say, 200g. That means that if I bid, I'm going to have to bid at least 1,200g. And the next person will have to bet a minimum of 1,400g to come out on top, and so on and so forth.

Good luck!
