[quote="Cupid"]So, what you are saying is that 155.00 was not the maximum that you were prepared to pay for this item ? What was the offset that you chose for this auction, assuming that you have an active Mirror subscription ?[/quote]

If that was the case why didn't you just set your snipe amount to be 157.19, or higher ? <br /> <br />My second question was: <br /> <br /></span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"><tr> <td><span class="genmed"><b>Quote:</b></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="quote"><span style="font-weight: bold">Cupid wrote:</span> <br />What was the offset that you chose for this auction</td> </tr></table><span class="postbody"> <br /> <br />There was a reason for that. You are assuming there is enough time to place another bid after receiving and processing the response to the first. <br /> <br />How long before the auction ends does AuctionSniper place its bids ? <br /> <br />There's no guarantee that a bid of 157.19 could have won either, it might have just pushed the price a bit higher than you were actually prepared to pay. <br /> <br />For further info/reading, here are a few links to related past discussions on this subject: <br /> <br /><a href="https://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10172" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10172</a> <br /><a href="https://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10002" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10002</a> <br /><a href="https://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8053" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.gixen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8053</a></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>Guest</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: Wed Jul 10, 2024 12:59 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">What I'm saying is that I could have won the item at 157.19, one bid increment above the winning bid, which was placed 30s before the auction end.
