If you put in a high bid earlier and not at the last minute, I don't see how it negatively affects the round. I think the awareness mostly needs to be raised for those bidding at the last minute and not paying attention to the ever changing max suggested bid, especially as the round is about to end. I would discourage anyone from placing a high bid within the last minute as that will most probably send the round negative. I read your blog Hive account@santana33 and it was very good btw.
