It is unfair to be able to reset the clock on bidding for 5 minutes if you were not bidding in the original time limit. Example; I bid 158 credits on a player the clock tick to a few seconds then someone else enters the bidding, we can't see how many people are actively bidding. This would help us to not waste time in a futile bidding war. Adversely if I bid when the player is red I've original time elapsed or I'm outbid I reset for a further 5 mins when I bid allowing further players to enter the bidding.
