Hi! I am really new to this sniper thing. I have just joined this group a moment ago and read your posts concerning how much lead time one should allow for a bid.
I don't know, but it seems to me that the last bid would always be the winning bid. So, I thought that it would be better to bid later rather than sooner, thus avoiding driving the price up by having someone outbid you and then having your own bid raised by that amount.
I have a couple of items I REALLY want to win. That is why I am here.
I set my lead time for three seconds. Is that nuts? I would appreciate and suggestions you have about this, especially those of you who are have had good success with sniping your auctions. Think I should change my lead time from 3 seconds to 5 or more?
I know that there are many people using various types of auction snipers and I just think the competition will be stiff so why not get in the last bid.
If you are at only 3 seconds, does that mean that your bid would not have time to be posted?
Any thoughts?
Joy
