I will look into it, however , I know that you can bid a large amount of credits and they are kept hidden. only the next high bid required in blue (next to Bid now) will show as there bid. Their high bid will automatically outbid you until your bid is higher than theirs. When you do, you will see ... you are now the highest bidder . If you really want it, closely watch the auction for the last hour and increase your bids as needed. If at that point you are outbid again you can bid again or let it go. confusing!
