County,
I advise you not to fall for region2’s request. After you post the auction number, he (or another regular) will leave something about it’s impossible for another sniper to react within 40 seconds (only because region2 can’t). Even if it were 40 minutes early, region2 would still use that line. Then there’s the ever favorite cliché about highest snipes, not last snipes, win, or something like that. His (or another regular) suggestion will be to bid more next time, and some kind of comment about “must have” items, even though this doesn’t appear to fall in that category. What ever you do, even though the snipe was 40 seconds early, region2 (or another regular) will suggest that somehow it’s ALL YOUR FAULT.
You’ll not get supportive info on this forum on this subject. So, best to use the link I left you. At least the support staff will be professional and courteous.
