I used A.S. and lost anyway!

Guest

I sniped with a maximum of twice the highest bid going into the last 5 seconds of an auction. But someone else got it by bidding$1 higher than me, I guess by using proxy bidding and submitting the higher bid earlier! Any defense against this? Should I cover my bets by using proxy bidding and A.S.? Proxy bidding would have told me 2 hours ago that I was outbid, then I could have decided whether I wanted to raise the stakes. With using A.S., I'm not going to really know if I'm bidding high enough until the last second, then it's too late! Any suggestions?
