From my experience raising money in mainstream, I know those types of bids will dry up very quickly if companies feel that they're being forced to bid against people that have no ability or intention of actually making payment.
Of COURSE I want the bidding to go as high as possible, but at the same time, I don't want the bidding being incremented in a manner that's unfair to those actually willing and able to make final payment.
Again, I am in NO way speaking badly about jasonir, as I've said before. However, given all of the circumstances, I wanted time to look into things before accepting the bid. That's something he wasn't willing to provide.

You are totally clueless.

it's for charity. They are not doing this for personal gain, to make money etc... It's not like they are bidding on a new TV or something. it is CHARITY! no one is forcing them to bid. If a company wants to donate 5K they will bid up to 5K then stop. If someone bids more, and no one else beats him, and he defaults then I am sure the person who bid 5K would still be happy to make that donation.
Do you understand this?
Also, how are you going to "verify" they have the funds, do people need to send you a copy of their bank statement. How do you truely verify this? ICQ 10 friends and ask them if they heard of the bidder and how many drinks he bought people at parties
