Thank you Jarry - it did indeed set me on my way to do further research. An 'irresponsible bid' means that the bidder cannot pay and then the property goes back on auction starting at the previous highest bid.

  -> I agree that it isn't. I was merely trying to provide Tina with some clues to 'fuel' further research ;-)
