I'm currently playing NS auction.
It's quite an addictive thing if you like collecting cards.
I wanted to share a situation, but for you to understand, I'll tell you a bit about the item itself.
In NS, the final price in the auction is formed as the average between the seller's price and the buyer's bid (rounded up to 0.01).
For example, a seller offered 0.50 for a card, buyers bargained among themselves, raised their bids, and in the end, the auction was won by a person with a bid of 0.59. So, in the end, the card will be sold for (0.50 + 0.59) / 2 = 0.545, rounded up to 0.55. By the way, such a bid of 0.59 is generally useless, because a bid of 0.60 also gives 0.55.
The auction is multiple, i.e., several identical cards can be traded simultaneously, and in the end, say, three sellers will be matched with three buyers. In case of equal bids, priority goes to the one who made the bid earlier.
Now let me tell you about the high-quality gaming I encountered.
Cards in the game can be disenchanted at face value. I saw an offer to sell a card below face value, i.e., essentially free money.
The face value was 0.50, and the offer was for 0.48. Next to it hung another offer, exactly at face value 0.50.
I place a bid of 0.49 like this:
Because it's stupid to bid 0.50 — that only works if I'm the only buyer.
But when I bid 0.49, ideally my bid will remain the lowest. If someone bids 0.50, they get the card from the second offer, and I get mine for 0.49.
But player 2 comes along and places bids like this:
He takes both offers. I, as the lower bid, got squeezed out, I'm defeated and cancel my bid.
It would seem the person outplayed me and we could part ways, but then another big spender (player 3) enters the game.
He places bids cunningly like this:
He himself adds a sell offer for 0.5 and two buy bids at 0.5.
As I said earlier, with equal bids, the one placed earlier is considered higher. His buy bid is the lowest priority and therefore matches the cheap offer of 0.48. And he added his second buy bid with the expectation that such a trick wouldn't be pulled on him.

В тихой однообразной жизни всегда так бывает: каждый отдельный день бесконечно долог, но месяцы и годы мчатся с непостижимой быстротой.
I wanted to offer you some flowers, but a crown would suit a princess like you much better
