    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. Make an auction
    2. Bid on the auction
    3. You now bid $100 more than the starting price.

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
    I'd expect to see the starting bid being for the starting price. That is, if the starting price is $50, I'd expect the starting bid to be $50, not $150. I'd expect the second bid to be $150.

    What version of the product are you using?
    1.0.3 (current as of 23/05/13)

    Do you have an error log of what happened?
    There is no actual mistake that would produce an error. It's simply not behaving as I would expect.

    Please provide any additional information below.

    • An easy but ugly fix: declare a variable as being the user-inputted starting price minus the interval, plug that into the current code as the initial price, but in the initial auctioning announcement, simply show the user-inputted price.
    • A more difficult but prettier fix: declare a boolean variable for whether it's been bid on yet. You can probably guess the rest.
