I completely agree, not only is watching bids come in fun it really helps you know how much you can actually sell something for. I've sold things for 1000s of creds less then they were worth just cause I didn't know, if there were a bid system that likely wouldn't happen. I also just think it would help the economy as whole, no one would worry about losing money by posting their stuff hence more stuff would get posted and more people would use the trade network to buy things. Everybody wins!
