In the pic I've attached below, the sharesies bid is sitting below the top bid (as it was for most of the day), it's also sitting below the last offer that was matched.

You would think so that it should. It is possible (without having asked them) that the top bid had not been traded at that price? But I see that on your screenshot $1.42 was the last trade, so yes in theory they should be happy to go at $1.42. Really quite miffed by their algorithm but do understand the need for it. They need to tweak it somewhat though because at the moment it is far too "transparent" and easy to take advantage of and game.
