There's a seller who - in about 1 1/2 days - has ten auctions closing for the same item. I want to get either one or two of these items. So I was thinking that I could add all ten of his auctions to a Bid Group and then when I won one (or two, whichever I end up specifying), it'd cancel the other snipes and I'd get what I wanted. However...
...his auctions close at (almost) exactly the same time. Like, to the second. So, how would the Bid Group cope with this? I assume the Bid Group is designed to work with auctions that close at different times, so it has time to recognise when the specified number of auctions has been won, and then cancels the other snipes. Since all the auctions close at exactly the same time, the Bid Group wouldn't have time to be able to recognise I'd won one of the auctions before they all closed, and would proceed to bid on all of the auctions, right? I might end up winning all ten, which I don't want to do. How can I get this to work out?
A quick answer from someone would be extremely appreciated, since his auctions close in a day and a half. Thanks.
