    Suggestion:
    Add a maxbid system to auctions

    Reason:
    Maxbids are essentially an anti-snipe mechanism that are best both for the bidders and the auctioneer.

    Essentiall what you'd do is /bid (amount) (maxbid). What the max bid does is automatically outbids the person who bids under that number. If an auction is getting close to the end, it tends to become "who can snipe last" rather than making it a competition of who pays money.

    Sure, I suppose "you should bid your highest bid," but let me tell you from a psychology perspective, people are going to set a higher maxbid then what their actual highest max bid would be.
