Before a GM places a bid it will state the minimum bid required for a player (10% greater then current leading bid), but a GM can always bid whatever amount they like. So at times a GM can step in with a monster offer that is never outbid.
Regarding setting the opening bid.....at the moment you can't do that, it might be a good idea to implement it. But that would be a lot of work when entering in the free agents each off season -- as you'd have to look at each player and determine a value yourself. In our league the market has always corrected itself once the bids start rolling in.
The rule in Fidel's league is we simply have a minimum major league contract allowed ($350K I believe), so no opening bid is considered valid unless it meets that requirement. It allows small market teams, and large market teams too, the ability to find some cheap contracts if the market isn't there for that particular player.

So by bidding more than the min increase, you don't get a cushion ala ebay. It'd be nice to bid the max you want to give for a player instead of continuing to watch and see if you need to up it again. Also, it'd be nice to give less than your max if no one beat that max.
