A Bid being higher then Ask can happen when one exchange is placing a bid at a higher amount than a different exhange is offering to sell their shares at.

I have seen this happen many times and I do not think it is anything to worry about.

Example:

Exchange A Bid price 1.20 Ask price 1.25
Exchange B Bid price 1.08 Ask price 1.10
Exchange C Bid price 1.10 Ask price 1.12

You would see on a normal Bid Ask screen:
Bid: 1.20
Ask: 1.10

Bid price shown is usually the highest found at any exchange, so long as number of shares is at least 100 shares.

Ask price shown is usually the lowest found at any exchange, so long as number of shares is at least 100 shares.
