[quote="Ryan"]Hi all - just tried to snipe using this service on a Logitech G25 at one of the online stores? I put in my max bid at $240.00 (didn't type in the $ sign though) (when there was 5 mins until the auction ended) At 2mins remaining - I clicked Edit and change it to 243.20 and clicked Add - but it didn't update - it still showed $240 As it turns out - I didn't win the auction - but for some reason the winning bid was $239.53 or some other cent value - which was below my initial bid of $240. Can anyone explain this - did I put my bid in too late or something?[/quote]

In fact, if you are bidding on an item that you just <span style="font-style: italic">have</span> to have, it is recommended that you send in a manual bid along with Gixen's.
