[quote="hillridware1"]H New to Gixen and think I understand most of it with the exception of what the 'Default Bid Offset' is all about. I've checked the FAQs and here on the forum but can't quite find out in a nutshell what it is and how it works i.e. is it better to use the default 6 seconds or should this be reduced (or even highered)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Stephen[/quote]

Without one all your snipes will be scheduled with a 6 second offset. <br /> <br />There are many, many discussions about this over the years, on this forum. There is a search facility here that is useful if you wish to find them. <br /> <br />My personal view has always been that where there are likely to be other snipers interested in an an auction it is better to have a longer offset, rather than a shorter one. <br /> <br />I shall not repeat the arguments for and against on this thread... the debate is endless...</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>hillridware1</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon Jul 11, 2016 3:30 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Default Bid Offset</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">H <br /> <br />New to Gixen and think I understand most of it with the exception of what the 'Default Bid Offset' is all about.
