6430 (Expansion Loan): About 14:45? I got pushed out £10 at a time, account free balance £2.21, then £12,21, then £22.21.
As the basic unit of bidding is £20, there can be no partial split of a £20 bid. So I checked the bids list
How are people bidding/being left £10 per loan?
Or is it another FC failure to count/add?
My account total "Available to bid" definitely went up in 2 distinct £10s, it's not a "bit of javascript going wrong on live update" issue.
1 b****y £20 12.1% 9 Jun 2014 17:58 Rejected
2 b****y £10 12.1% 9 Jun 2014 17:58 Rejected
3 R****k £10 12.1% 9 Jun 2014 17:31 Rejected
4 R***L £10 12.1% 9 Jun 2014 16:41 Rejected
5 D*** C. £10 12.1% 9 Jun 2014 14:11 Rejected
I've seen this happen before, and thought I imagined it, but it's back. How?

It's where the total loan isn't divisible by £20 - the last loan part is then the remainder. I had a £14 loan part at the end of an auction.

Or rather the total minus exactly the 10% for the BBB. I had a thirty pound part once.

I had £18 (but sold it). See thread in other place about 'dwarf loan parts'. Muc more common after the government's 20%/10%.

Yes but no but ... this loan hadn't actually finished, (it still hasn't) there were MULTIPLE £10 parts hanging around at the top near the event-horizon. I can understand that maybe the last loan part is part of £20 to round the total up +/- government interference amounts. But this was during the auction, which means my £20 bid was near the edge, then straddling the edge (part in, part out), and then out. There can be only one bid that is split over the "edge". There cannot be any odd-sized bids placed below me in the list to part push me out. Right? What am I missing?

Hey, this is FC .. read SL75 on the other forum and you'll see there can apparently be live bids which are knocked out. Next up, prime numbers divisible by twelve?? Multiple chopped bids .. Sure, why not .. Rusty abacus wires!!

OK, once more, with pictures  While poking £20's in various high-rate-places (!) I became aware of my outstanding balance going from £5, to £25, to £35 .... eh? Found the errant "tenner" bid (in auction 6730)... and for me to have £10 "in" and £10 "out" in a live auction (was a £20 bid), someone, somewhere, MUST have placed a successful bid for an non-multiple of £20 below me. It showed up in the live-update, and also in my account totals and account summary, so not a "display issue" or a "it's beta, hit F5" issue. It was there for a little while before I got tipped over the edge and pushed back in again   I don't understand quite where the odd amount bid came from, couldn't see it in the list, but didn't get chance to get the full list of bids. |

If the total requested amount is not a multiple of £20, then the last bid left in will be the remainder once the requested amount is divided by £20
For example, someone requests £20,010 loan. You divide this by £20 and the remainder is £10. Therefore the last bid is £10.
During the auction - FC doesn't add up the rejected bids - so you will see a series of bids in the rejected bucket of £10. Likewise on an auction which is a multiple of £20, if someone has put a large bid in, this will slowly get whittled away in the 'live' environment and the amount that will pop up in the 'rejected' box is the last amount that was knocked out by a lower bid.

Yep, I sold a brand new £30 loan part to someone yesterday?. I have also had £12, £18 and iirc, £11.20, loan parts if I was on the fringe of the auction when it ended.
