However, it seems I may have misunderstood. I added three identical items to group 1, all ending simultaneously. I placed a bid on them, but when they ended, someone else placed a higher bid on one, canceling it out. The other two items continued bidding and I won both. My understanding, from previous forum posts, was that if I placed items ending at the same time in the same group, winning one would cancel out the others. I recall a post from the early 2010s suggesting a 2-minute gap, but I also saw a more recent update stating this was no longer the case for Gixen, and items could cancel each other out even within seconds. I realize I may not fully grasp how group bidding on items ending simultaneously works. Could someone please provide a more detailed explanation of how this process works, or if there's a better approach to achieve the desired result?</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> </table>
