Reply to "Urgent - Bid Group question"

James, it's possible to arrange your snipes so the software enters bids sequentially by setting the bid times a few seconds apart. Start with the last item listed on eBay (that's the first one listed by the seller, and it'll go down first, if only by a nanosecond) and set up a bid that will be placed maybe two minutes before auction closing time. Set up another bid on the next-to-last item that will be placed at one minute, 45 seconds before closing. Then set up more bids at 15-second intervals starting at one minute. I don't think you'll need to enter bids on all ten to get just two items. If you win the first two, you'll have 45 seconds to cancel the rest of your bids by checking all the remaining ones you scheduled and doing a bulk delete. But practically speaking, if you don't leave enough time to cancel there's the chance you'll win all of the items you set up bids for. How are your reflexes
