    This policy should repeated, as these multiple bids are still happening.

        There is one individual that won a 1911 on auction in February, and has bid on 3 subsequent auctions.

          And another individual that won a 1911 in February and has bid on 3 subsequent auctions. In the current auction ending 12 Dec, he held high bid on one 1911 all week, was finally outbid on that one and bid on another. Not only is he driving prices up on 1911s he/she isn't eligible buy, but apparently thinks he/she is entitle to more than one.

              This should be addressed. It has been going on too long and should not happen period. Something should be in place to automatically keep a user from the ability to bid after they receive a 1911.

                Sadly, the auction software is so ancient that it may not be something preventable. With the high value nature of the CMP auction items, it really should be considered to be upgraded in a real way. The current software is simply bad on several levels.

                        Sadly, it benefits them to have higher final bids.

                          And here it is on a Friday afternoon, and we have one individual that has high bids on 3 separate 1911s. It was 4, but someone finally outbid him on one. Happy New Year!

                            This stinks and has been going on far too long. I support the CMP and expect better from them. They are aware and do nothing about it for those who play fair.
                            Maybe it is time to change the way that I play?...Nah, can't do it.
