Rick, do you realize that your posts will soon be doubled since I came?

I told you that this is a much better forum since you arrived. I mean this Mrs. M - you have got this place hopping. Before you arrived this place was way too serious. You should be proud. You are the best thing to happen to this forum.
Well, anyway, we do have a lot of fun and really, we learn a lot in the process!....I think I said this to you when I first came on board, Rick. ALways speak on everyone's level. I noticed when I first started posting that many of the posts tended to be above people's heads. Anyway, that has changed and we have a great place...lol, til I get run out! Big Grin

Good morning EVERYONE, and a SPECIAL good morning to Mrs. M.

I stay fairly current with this forum, and sometimes it's hard for me to keep up. It must be very difficult to miss a day. "Ya snooze - Ya loose."

Squeaky, you were gone for almost 2 days. That's must be like trying to read a week's worth of newspapers. Wink
Was I really away for so long - how time flies in the quiet Highlands....It's nowhere near as bad as catching up with the Ebay boards (I've given up with them - too hectic) or even worse the Weightwatchers ones - they have literally hundreds of posts an hour!

I'm happy in the quiet backwaters of the Siberian clubs and the Pekin Bantams forum (and here, of course). Smile

Mrs M. I search for "Onwards" quite often and have a daily search set up which is supposed to catch everything husky related on eBay. How on earth did I miss that one?! Maybe someone somewhere is being kind to my bank balance, although it would indeed be a bargain at $2500. Mind you, it's more than the price of a whole extra (real) husky....now which would I prefer, a puppy or a lovely porcelain sled team....I bet you can all guess which! Big Grin

Here's a photo of Volk and me getting some rest after a hard day's eBaying! (well, just baying in his case....he he!)

Ok, new at this so just trying to learn. I just happened to watch as my snipe for a product was not placed. I had watched someone place a bid for $61 and my bid was at $62.02, yet as time expired I watched my bid disappear and the winning bid was someone else at $62. I had a eight seconad lead time. Please explain this.

Rick:
In the example the current bid price was $15.00. Placing a $20.01 would reach the next increment and would then outbid the $20. One need not win by a full increment, one need only reach the next increment for the bid to be placed, and since $20.01 is the high bid, they would win. That's why so many people bid uneven amounts.

Mrs. M,

evary says, "I just happened to watch as my snipe for a product was not placed." Then evary says, "I watched my bid disappear." Kind of difficult to understand what that means.

I assume that what evary is saying is that the price was at $61. Someone came in and placed a bid/snipe at $62 before every's snipe was placed. This prevented evary's snipe of $62.02 to be placed because it needed to be $63 ($62 + $1 next bid increment).

How did I do?
