Stockpile
Can you start a stockpile bid above $0 and outbid by more than one step in the Demand Phase?
The designer answered this directly in two threads, and the rulebook's bidding steps agree.

Yes. The first bid can go on any open space of any bidding track, not only $0, and a player can outbid by any amount rather than one step above the previous bid. A bid must still be higher than the one it beats, so no one can match or underbid.
