[quote="Cupid"][quote]So the problem is really how to get a snipe in during the 1 min extension without sitting on the auction to watch, especially if there are a number ending on or around the same time[/quote]

Indeed, what you've alluded to is some increased complexity where snipes are dependent upon one another (in Gixen terms 'Grouped'), with this strategy of extending the auction end time, potentially by up to 12 minutes there's a possibility that another dependent auction needs to be bid on (or may even be won) before the auction that was due to complete first has actually finished.

There's therefore an increased possibility of winning more items than are intended by the grouping, I think Mario has also introduced (or is considering doing so) some measures to try to reduce that risk once more.

As has always been the case you should still enter the maximum amount you are willing to bid as your Gixen snipe value, and let the software decide when to enter bids and for what amount. As Mario says, it's hard to know for sure what strategy is best overall, and it may vary per auction, and so the strategy may continue to be developed over time... all views and opinions are welcome while Mario continues this development.[/quote]
