I won a Legendary sword for one-hundred coins after someone outbid me with around four-hundred coins. They didn't have enough coins for it when it the auction ended, so it was given to me for the one-hundred coins I had bid previously.
This is just a theory based on the one auction I've ever participated in.
If someone donates say ten coins and then someone else donates an absurd amount no one would want to outbid then spends enough coins to not have enough for the auction, it would go to the person buying it for only ten coins.
Basically, you could scam the marketplace auctions using this theory.
I believe a good fix would be to have it so that when someone bids, it removes the coins from their inventory immediately unless they are outbid, in which case it would return the coins. This would prevent this kind of scamming entirely.
