I did Rick,... 6 seconds before an auction ends is earlier than 4 seconds before an auction ends.
Example auction ends at 10:00, with Mirror offset of 4 seconds and the Main offset of 6 seconds.
Outcome:
Main server places bid at 9:59 and 54 seconds.
Mirror server tries to place bid at 9:59 and 56 seconds but probably gets blocked by the earlier bid placed by the Main server.. only if the Main fails does this one get through as the backup.

You mean the main and mirror servers, right?
It depends on what offsets you use. If you set your mirror offset for 4 seconds and the main offset at 6 then the mirror server will place your bid first. Or vice versa if you set the main server at 4 seconds and the mirror at 6.
If you are using the
same
time offset for both servers - fundamentally whichever one gets there first. In computer world bids could be fractions of a second apart - your snipes as well as other incoming bids. You won't see fractions of seconds in an eBay bid history but the eBay system has to make a determination as to which got to their server first. Bottom line: first in, first out.
The biggest point about having the mirror service is to ensure your bid gets placed period. Stuff happens. And if stuff happens it could be a problem with a gixen main or mirror server, or an eBay server as well. Both gixen main and mirror servers will always try to place a bid and should one of them fail to do so for any reason the other gixen server gets though. Pretty sure Mario says the reliability for a mirrored account is over 99%.
