[quote="vandelayind"]Hello! If the item ends and I was the winning bid already, will gixen still snipe with whatever bid I configure it for? Or will it not snipe if I'm the highest bidder when my offset is reached? I checked FAQ and searched but did not see any posts about this. Sorry if I missed it! Thank you[/quote]
