Reply to "AS Didnt Place Bids in Time?"

OK, fair enough. I have 14 snipes in now - the ones that end on an even quarter hour or hour, I put a lead time of 30 seconds in. For the ones that end on odd minutes and seconds, I put in 10 seconds of lead time.

Is that enough leadtime?

So why are all the sellers sceduling the end of the auctions for these even hours? You have to pay extra for that service and when I saw it there I though to myself "now who in the hell would pay extra for that?".

Are the sellers intentionally doing this because they know that it interferes with automated programs like this? These programs arent good for the seller - they are good for the buyer. Sellers like the proxy bidding system because people get into little wars with each other and drive the price way up in the process.
