[quote="mario"]3 seconds is available to mirror subscribers, as is 8, 10, 12, and 15. But what I keep repeating is that I see little value in anything under 6 seconds. Sniping helps against manual bidders, not other snipers. In fact, too short offset is counter-productive due to ebay bid increment rules. Personally, I always use 8 seconds, because I want my bid to be there *before* all other snipers.[/quote]
