multiple offer bonaza for short sales...!!!!

I can't believe this buyer's market has come down to a seller's market.Oh you haven't noticed that the banks are driving us agents crazy...I go to the MLS and pick 15 properties..7 of them have offers already but the bank has us all hostage...will it be the highest bidder?..or the one whose more credit worthy...? or the one with the biggest down payment?..heck if I know? What kind of criteria are we dealing with?...I rant and work my brain trying to figure what's best for my client...perhaps it is a "bankers" market.....
