[quote="mario"]Unfortunately it happens that snipes are late. It's rare, but that 1 in 300 that's late still happens. Since I have 30,000 or so snipes in the database at every moment, I can see statistics that individual users can't. And while I obviously have an interest in promoting mirror service, I believe myself that it's worth having it, exactly for this reason.[/quote]

Post subject: Thanks
Thanks Mario. I appreciate it.
I love the service and I always recommend it to other sports memorabilia collectors on those boards. This is the first issue I've ever had and I snipe a lot.

John,
It looks like this snipe was late, and the status was mis-interpreted by Gixen.
Sorry about the confusion - I will see that I fix this.

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the reply - the snipe was not mirrored, I placed the 1st bid - 3.99, then I set my snipe at 13.99 in Gixen in left.
I completely understand snipes fail sometimes and its my fault for not having mirror service.
Now, I'm just looking for a logical explanation because "BID UNDER ASKING PRICE" doesn't make sense.
I don't see any retractions and I was not logged into eBay myself. Any idea what happened? The auction only had 2 bidders - me first then the winner with 8 seconds left.
Thanks,
John

Was this snipe Mirrored?
If so what was the status that Gixen gave the snipe on the Mirror tab?
Did you also place any bids manually?
