Round 2A has started....
Time for catfights....

i have to do this ST2238 module. but initially i cannot bid for it cos not in the listing... then i email stats department ask if it is allocated to us cos it's an essential module for us... then they say dunno then i email science fac the same question. then they say if i got allocated 2101 then i cannot do st2238 in the same mod (is there logic here i wonder). then i got an email telling me about my appeal for st2238 maybe cos i got too much workload (which is true) and that i have to drop a module then go down to LSOP (where is that anyway?) to appeal.
so now, can i still do st2238 this sem or not???

Now, the module I'm interested in has more demand than supply. I'm getting outbidded. Got 1,100+ pts to spent, don't know can or not. Tomorrow, then I throw all the pts in. -
haiz... i need to bid for 3 modules with the general account not enuff points leh... the bids are upping.. 5 vacancies got 9 people fighting for it. the bid up to 400 liao i think.. hey, the "next minimum bid" 401 means if you bid 400 you are putbidded is it?? means at least you must put 4001 and above is it? i dun understand leh. i put 300 then they still say my status is accepted...Originally posted by CoolMyth:Helping you is my honor.

Before demand exceed supply, the next minimum bid will always be 1, that is, the minimum points needed to get the module. When demand is less than supply, in the end, everyone will just pay 1 point.Originally posted by starblue:haiz... i need to bid for 3 modules with the general account not enuff points leh... the bids are upping.. 5 vacancies got 9 people fighting for it. the bid up to 400 liao i think.. hey, the "next minimum bid" 401 means if you bid 400 you are putbidded is it?? means at least you must put 4001 and above is it? i dun understand leh. i put 300 then they still say my status is accepted...
When demand exceed supply, the next minimum bid is actually the lowest successful bid you need to get the module. In your case, you're actually now the one with the lowest successful bid, ie the points everyone need to pay to get the module. In your example, there is no one out of the 9 person between 300 and 400, so when you put 300, you're actually making the lowest successful bid points to be 300.
My strategy is always to stay at 1 point and then throw in my point according to the demand during close bidding. I don't want to get into needless bidding wars during open bidding since everyone can see how far you're bidding. Of course, that requires a lot of free time in the computer.
For those with no time to check CORs again and again, just put in your final bid and hope for the best.
EDIT: Changed some wording. -
the thing is, why when the next min bid is 401 and i put 300 my bidding status is "accepted" and not "outbidded"???
-
My guess is that you're actually the person with the lowest bid needed at that time of bidding. 400 pts is the person with the next lowest bid needed. So when you up to 300 < 400, you're still the person with the lowest bid.Originally posted by starblue:the thing is, why when the next min bid is 401 and i put 300 my bidding status is "accepted" and not "outbidded"???
That's my opinion. Don't know correct or not. Safer to treat next minimum bid as lowest bid needed, lah. -

What type of modules you're looking for?
Like now, the module I want has a bid point of 370+. I have 1,100 points. Highest is 1,800+. Can fight with them, but still not confirmed can get module. -
