What I am saying is that with less than 500 shares ordered there is no point raising your bid more than 1 cent over than the existing best bid. You're wasting money because no one knows your bid @ 1.40 exists. The seller doesn't know he's going to get 1.40 for his shares so it isn't going to "tempt" anyone.
