When bidderB "wins" the bidding, he can just decline and said piece of art will not be passed down to me to agree or decline?
I actually really like that one! Congrats on winning that bud  |

I spoke to a rep of Gallery Nucleus today at length about this. They agreed with me and stated they greatly appreciate my feedback. They generally sell only, this is their first time doing an auction and on their own website. This was insisted upon by Square-Enix to do it this way. For the future they're going to look into eBay for the auction listings. That's how auction 4 a cause did the Assassin's Creed 3 paintings, through an eBay main page.
