Reply to "6 Second Lead Time, Bid at 43 Seconds...."

Back to the original topic once more.

My bid was placed 19s instead of the desired 3s before the end of auction. And I think, this the problem here. I'm paying for the AS service to have my bid placed at the time time I choose to.
I understand that AS tries to compensate bid placements in some high traffic times. But this routine seems to be flawed. 45s instead of 6s in the original posters case or 19s instead of 3s in mine are not good enough.

Here is my recommendation. Instead of long lectures of 'the highest bid wins' which borders on insulting the users intellegence, improve the AS software! I would rather have an option "place the bid at the advised moment even if it might fail during peak times" than have a bid placed too early.
