Maximum Bid

With Alex joining the bidding war, the speed at which the price rose increased once again. However, with how big the bid was, the speed at which it rose was still slow compared to all the other ones.

Alex saw the bid increase ever so slightly and could tell that however it was that bidding didn't have much money. He didn't wait and increased the bid again by the slightest amount.

"Your Majesty?" Yao Ning turned around when she saw how fast he was bidding. "Are you sure we shouldn't wait to see if there are others that can bid before we do?"

"No," Alex said. "Increase the bid by the slightest bit the moment the other person bids."

"Why such a hurry?" Pearl asked with a curious look on his face.

"Whoever it is that is bidding currently is running out of money, so they spend every moment they can to reconsider whether or not the price is worth it for the item they are paying."
