[quote="Cupid"]Gixen does not update auction prices on the web interface in real time. It only looks the prices up intermittently, more often towards the end of the auction.

The price is supplied for convenience only, it is not essential to the sniping process. I recommend that you decide well in advance the amount that you are prepared to pay and set your snipe accordingly.

To provide real time updates via the web interface is prohibitively expensive, in terms of server resources, which is why it was discontinued many years ago many there were nowhere near as many users as there are now.

If real time updates are important to you and you have a Windows based computer I would recommend that you look into using the Gixen Desktop Manager, because that uses your own computers resources in order to fetch the current prices, and thus can do so in almost real time, if you wish.

The reason that the price was updated as a result of modifying the snipe is that it is equivalent to deleting and resubmitting the snipe once more at a different price. Please do not use that method to obtain updates, since it is even more expensive in terms of the resources you use to do it.. and if everyone started doing it the site would rapidly become unusable for the rest of the community.[/quote]
