Do you know how to use our system? Change the "Show" drop down box to "Items I've Lost."
Then click the confirmation button next to the snipe. For the first item you mentioned, 2659535967, this is what you'll see:

Problem with bid amount
Your bid of 201.01 is less than the minimum bid. Please go back and bid at least $242.00. (Please type numbers and the decimal point (.) only)
And this is what you get for the second:
quote:
Cannot proceed
This auction ended on Oct-11-03at 22:37:32 PDT, and bidding is closed for this item.
The seller ended the auction early. This isnt our fault, go yell at the seller.
You cant get free snipes because neither of these are cases where we give them. The solution to your first snipe is to bid more. The solution for the second is to let the seller know you are disappointed that he ended his auction before it was scheduled to, and that you had planned on bidding a much higher amount near the end of the auction.
