Annonymous bids would be good. The way it is now, you have to undercut from the get go or just not sell your item at all (unless you're the only one selling). I never really thought of it because I got used to these kinds of AH after I left FFXI but bringing this system back would be dang awesome and pretty nostalgic lol.

Undercutting will always be there SE can't do anything about it but people are lazy, and what I mean by that is, in FFXI (unless I was unfortunate enough to get a person who wants to save every bit of gil they could) I was able to undercut an item worth 100k to 50k and still sell it at 100k, 95k or 99k because people were to lazy to start low and keep bidding, bidding, bidding until they meet reserve.

I guess what I'm trying to say is really hard to explain and might come down as straight nonsense to most people but it's actually quite good. Lets say I just got done selling five 100k items for 50k and there are 25 of said items available on the AH, someone bought all of my five and. . .no, now wait a minute, it would kind of be worse, because if I sold those items for 50k, flooded the history @50k and a new seller uses the History for price reference they would normally price theirs for 50k or lower because they don't know if those other 20 people are also selling it at 50k or not. . .

hmmmph. . .I don't know, this really is a toughy. . .annonymous bidding might not work aswell as I thought it used to and thinking on it now. . .that scenario up top used to happen to me a lot.
