Idea title: Count your already spent cash when you want to out bid yourself
Details of idea:
For now if you want to out bid yourself you need to spend cash first and then you will get the refund. This idea will change it to: Just spend the amount that you need to increase the bid.
Reasons for submitting: You might do not have enough cash to out bid yourself in this current system because some part of your cash in on the same item as minimum bid.
Assume that you have 120 K $ and you want to buy something with minimum bid 50 K $ and immediate purchase 100 K $. You already spend 50 K $ as minimum bid but the auction is going to end soon and you wont be online to see if anyone out bid you, so you decide to increase the bid to 80K so the chance of out biding become less. In this current system you can not, because you just left with 70 K on hand and already spend 50 K on minimum bid.
Does it enhance the gameplay, user interface, etc: Yes

Proposal
I want to increase my market bid, so that I can make an instant purchase.
Current Workaround
If you have enough money to make the new bid, you can just do it.
Details
Hypothetical Recipe A is in the market now, and I've been stalking for it for weeks. The minimum bid is 300k, the “instant purchase” price is 350k. I make a stupid UI mistake, and make a bid of 300k, when I actually intended to purchase it instantly, and had in fact the money for it. However now that I made my bid of 300k, I'm left with only 50k in my account, and so I can't make the instant purchase.
Logically, there's no reason why I can't just add another 50k to my offer and make it a purchase; but the UI doesn't allow that. Honestly IMO it's more a bug than a missing feature…
