I just noticed while at the market the other day trying futilely to get two complete sets of Razzle Dazzle that if no one is currently bidding on a piece nor is it up for sale there doesn't seem to be a way to place a bid.

I believe one should be able to place a bid for such an item and let it ride in case someone comes along and posts the piece. Forgive me if there IS a way to do so and I somehow just missed it.

Unless things have changed there should be a Filter for All.
This will list all IO's in the database and enable you to place bids that are not currently available on the market.

This ^^

I made this mistake a long time ago. I don't think the "All" option is on by default.

it's not, the default is set to "For Sale or Bidding"

I often go to just "For Sale" if I'm looking for an IO, so I don't have to bother looking through the ones that are just bids.

I think you underestimate our fools, sir.

Why /duel is a bad idea

I had looked at the filters, but I guess the setting didn't register in my brain (perhaps I need to adjust the brain filter). I'll have to give it another glance when next I'm on.
