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?

Yeah, some super quick blocks shut that auction fast!
I'd imagine we can probably ship to HK one way or another
Suggestion: Reject bid by returning at the end of the game if the bid is <=Current Bid that the time the server listens the new bid.
We do auto-refund bids that are unconfirmed at the end of the auction. See on the Pebble, the last bid (that didn't make it) was auto-refunded once it confirmed: http://blockchain.info/address/1Run2tGcZhPZ1ndYiaWJFSRs7NAwx8o2j

Wait,,, what- -... my move was eaten by own TX fee..... CRAP...
Would this be rejected... i guess?
Or did i just dumps some BTC into the abyss?

If the bid is accepted into a block before the end of the auction, it is not refunded. Due to the fact it is a peer to peer network and miners accepts some transactions before others, we can't know for sure if one bid came before another. The only thing we can be sure of is if a bid is in a block (sorry!)
Pebble is going quite cheap:

These watches are worth about BTC2 on the second market right now
If it were me, and I was running BlockRun, I would only allow people to list items themselves if they first sent those items to me. That way, I could inspect them, make sure they work and are in good condition, etc. I would also ship those items out myself. I would charge maybe 25% of the bids for the item in exchange for this service.
I wouldn't step into the escrow world directly with a service like this. What would be the resolution for a he-said, she-said debate between people? He says he shipped the item, she says she received a brick.

The logistics involved with that would be insane and make the whole thing not worthwhile. We have thought about doing some kind of user generated auction thing, but you're right, we'd have to be very careful to stop people from scamming!

I guess he mean a service like you being an escrow man and issue his things with BlockRun Style.
I also found a thing funny that you make the email not on the time when the n-3 block came, but you make it n-4 + 10 minutes

That's something we might look at, would anyone else be interested in creating their own listings?
I assume you mean the "blockrunning" notification emails? There is a slight delay with mailchimp sending out their mails, so we actually send it slightly earlier (<1 block)

Still being curious on the irrationality on the human brain. (Or did i suppose everyone knows game theory..?)

Argh... too sleepy last night, slept 3AM (~3PM on America), was thinking of some biddings but zzzz......
I was watching the pebble and the ipad totally slipped my mind. It is odd to have these auctions that go for 2500 minutes with no action, and then all the bids come in the last 40-50 minutes. It would be nice if there were auctions ending every couple hours so there'd be more constant action, instead of 40 hours of nothing and then an hour of bidding.
Actually, this does not work like a Penny Auction. In a penny auction, you always bid a fixed amount. Here you have to pay the actual amount you are willing to pay immediately instead of bidding $1 a hundred times.
So, it works differently, and it's easier for "gamblers" to see what they spend and what they get in return.
It still falls under the umbrella of bidding fee auction or "all pay" auction. So, it works differently, and it's easier for "gamblers" to see what they spend and what they get in return.
