Perhaps you didn't see that they haven't supplied auction details?

Do you mind if I ask you how long you've been using AS?

You're right! Details of the three lost snipes haven't been posted yet.

I still am quite dismayed that I "lost" the auction. I have sniped manually for almost 3 years and I feel that AS should have warned me in the welcome email to use them only as back up, if you really wanted the item. If I had set the led time for one minute, would my snipe have been placed? Was this an equipment failure situation or an eBAy hiccup? How can you tell?

The auction sniper status report that I received by email said that my snipe could not be placed because my status "Ready"

Of course, eBay had nothing to say about it, since it was never placed.

Is this a normal set of messages when your snipe is not placed due to who knows what?

Thanks.

Since 4/27/03, won 8, lost a few that were higher than I wanted to pay, which was way okay.

Until the loss today, I was quite happy with AS.

Sniper Guy,

Hang in there. I've got to go to bed, and there are other forum members (you members know who you are) that are better at this then I am.

I didn't want to leave you without some kind of response, even if it's lame.

You've obviously spent time researching topics in this forum, so you're no slacker.

Rick
