interesting indeed. I hadn't considered this. If this is the case, it's unfortunate they don't reject bids saying they're too high.

I just submitted several more otherwise identical bids at different prices to see what happens...

FYI, the price doesn't seem to matter. A bid for $.50 isn't being fulfilled either. I still don't understand why a bid higher than the going rate isn't being fulfilled. :-/
