Does anyone think that the Stack's site should have a "confirm bid" screen when bidding?

Don't tell RYK, but seconds ago I took a flier and placed a bid on a coin at Stack's. As we know, the new website is now active. I was shocked that when I placed my bid, there was no "confirm your bid" screen/button and my bid was immediately accepted. Even on Ebay you are given the chance to review your bid and confirm it is correct. What if I typed 5 figures instead of 4? Is this common?

You would have to call Hawaii to beg forgiveness.

What if you typed 5 figures instead of 4, got a "confirm bid" screen, and misread your 5 figure bid as a 4 figure one?
When dealing with royalty, you should be eternally grateful that the serfs are even allowed to approach the castle and call out their bids.
In other kingdoms such effrontery would normally result in a shower of molten lead.
The very idea that the chattel should be granted confirmations strikes me as a violent breach of protocol and would surely invite the derision of all fellow sovereigns.
Someone needs to send this fellow back to the dungeon for some more back stretching.
I would imagine having a "confirmation" added feature shouldn't be too difficult to add?
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Same old Stacks, the web site is just a different dressing.
