#Add a section on minimum bids to Auction Rules

Like how a section on buyouts was added (a technical maximum, in which if it is reached the auction will automatically end with the buyout bidder winning) I feel as though a section on setting minimum bids would help, seeing as there are people setting minimum bids as well, especially since having a minimum implies the auction host would accept any bid that meets the minimum.

However with the current rules, it's difficult to understand if a minimum is considered to be a "top bid" and would have to be accepted or falls under the category of hosts being allowed to reject bids (with exception of buyouts, if one is set) At the very least, perhaps buyouts could at least be set in stone at the beginning, same as buyouts to prevent confusion.

We’re here to prevent unneeded situations in trading/auctions, we can’t police minimum offers. The reason we clarified buy-outs is because people were testing the limits on the existing rules.

I fail to see how there could be any confusion with hosts stating minimum bids, they are free to refuse whatever they don’t like, and I do not think there is any added value clarifying minimum bids to be frank

I don't think minimum is really anything that needs to be policed. minimum bid is the same as a minimum top bid, but doesnt mean its the same as a buyout. If someone offers what the min bid is, they accept it as top, they'd be expected to follow through. if they're not accepting the "minimum bid" then its not a minimum bid and they're fucking you around
