Bid with 3 sec. lead time placed almost 1 min. before auction end. Is this normal?

mattcMember

First of all, I have used Auction Sniper in the past with good results. But, I haven't used it lately as I haven't been very active on eBay.

A few days ago, I placed a snipe on Auction Sniper with a 3 second lead time before auction end. (eBay Item number: 390040606366)

Today, as it happened, I was watching the final moments of that auction and was very surprised to see Auction Sniper entering my bid with 59 seconds still remaining in the auction.

Luckily, I did win the auction; and looking at the other bidder's entries, I probably would have paid the same final auction price, anyway.

Any ideas on what happened? Is this normal behavior for Auction Sniper as of late, or just a one-time "fluke"?
