It's ENTIRELY fair. You may not simply withdraw bids in an auction; they are BINDING. If there is some extraordinary circumstance, then you may inquire, but otherwise, it is your own fault for being unable to budget properly. If this continues to be a problem, there may well be official punishments. I have no qualms about forcing you to sell a realm or three to live up to a bid.

Don't beg for things! Do it yourself, or it isn't worth anything!
When in doubt, lurk moar.

It's not about predicting the future, it's about planning your finances. This is, in fact, an important life skill.

I know, but I had just enough to pay for it before, then I joined SkyCity because I was bored, so I gained a whole bunch of credits, and decided to save of for a realm, because of the the amount I got. Again, I apologize. I didn't think that would happen. I now realize it is not good to withdraw a bid.

or you could force the highest bidder to pay the difference between the highest bid and the second highest bid...if you want to be reasonable anyway

The art of finding your freedom is letting go all that is holding you back.

not really. you cant hold someone responsible for a bid after someone else has bid above them.

looking for a bid at 8k on pick # 2 but I am thinking now i just want to sell it so I will close the auction on #2 early if i dont get any bids on it tonight
