In auctions, the bidder often wants to up his/her bid by essentially bidding again higher than the minimum bid. The module as written cannot do this, or at least I haven't seen it. Bidders should be able to bid as many times as they'd like on the item, regardless if they are the last person to bid on it or not.

In addition, it would be nice to grant permissions for a role to proxy bid for people. For example, the "admin" role should be able to put in a bid as another user. Many auctions still take bids via phone, so there needs to be a way for someone to put those bids in. Only way around this now is to create a user account named "proxy" and just do it all from there.

The first issue sounds somewhat like a repeat of #337774: Autobid. If it's not, then why wouldn't the user just bid the value they want to really bid in the first place?

The second, I'm going to mark as "won't fix." It's not something our client will need, so I'm not going to implement it myself. Something like that would be fairly easy to implement with the API, though.
