I'm running an auction in my group of 50 people.
The current highest bidder is $1,900, with dozens of bids.
But I want more people to bid so I can leverage the bidders into sales.
Should I encourage people to bid, even if they can't outbid the winner?
For example: "Hey the winning bid is at $1,900, but as long as you bid at least a dollar you'll get a special gift from me"?
