I don't see what advantage a bot would have. You should worry more about the owners bidding up their own auctions.
by owners... you mean miners, or those initiating transactions?

bingo
Not a criticism...
anyone suspected of botting this yet?
Since you always have to bid higher than the last person, I don't really see any feasible advantage from botting this system. anyone suspected of botting this yet?

We've not noticed anything yet. If anything, people are getting bids in too late as the block sometimes move fast & slam an auction shut. Those late bids are then auto-refunded once confirmed.
[yeah, tell that to Wall Street

Bitcoins for Bitcoins wasn't the service that we first envisaged, but we are thinking about different kinds of auctions, so will give it some thought

User auctioned items would be difficult -- you'd have to act as an escrow and it might be annoying. But user-auctioned bitcoins would be easy to handle.

I just won the Pebble Watch!! Its going to make a great wedding present for a friend of mine. I had a quick question though, I was winning at .16, then a block or 2 later, someone else bid the exact same amount, .16
I didnt know what the situation was with a tie, so I bid .17 and won. So if I let that go, would I have won at .16 because I put that bid in first?

Congratulations, we'll be in touch
If your bid of .16 got accepted first, I think it would be the winning bid. If they both got accepted into the same block, I think it's pure chance which once goes to be the high bid.
Great job for bidding above, you still got a really good deal!

Gratz bro. the 0.16 was my mistake, i thought the 0.002 was put into the sending but it goes to the tx fee. So there you go. (Rational bid makes the house down 1BTC on this item, cheapest sale evar! even with the stupidity i made lol, i guess you wont bid on the nexus... right? coz i will, hehe)
Its all yours
