That's the point. When the second bidder placed their bid for $5.60, the

"test"). The second highest bidder, o***t(3272), got to bid in $.25
increments below $5 ($4.39 -> $4.64), while my...

have been $5, previously I was able to bid on an item all the way until
bid reached $4.75. But now, I skip b...
