yes it goes directly back to the player, not in his bank account. currently every time somebody bids the timer goes up by 2 minutes which is really boring.
having 5 minute auctions with every1 bidding in the final 10 seconds was way more exciting and you had to consider how much money your opponents were willing to spend. i guess upping the timer by 2-3 seconds each bid would be fine but the auctions wouldn't ever be as exciting as they used to be. when chris was manager so many people would show up in auctions and winning an item at a reasonable price was a real "tactical battle"
