[quote="cousipic"]Yes I understand, I just wondered how the snipers could manage to bid fast enough before the end and one after the other on the other's highest bid... but of course it's the highest who wins, I assumed that ! And what if 2 persons have set the same price on their snipers? well, I have much to learn... Thank you[/quote]
