Lost - my 5 sec lead changed to 15 sec | Auction Sniper

Lost a good one in a running battle I've been having with a rich bidder. He wins ALL items in this catagory - has spent 10s of thousands in the past months. I'm just a poor user, that wants ONE or two of the items. I have a 5 sec lead always, and have been using AS for about a year. Today I loose to this guy because AS bid too early, at 15 secs. The guy or his sniper sees it, bids at 10 seconds to go, wins again. AAARgh! Thursday at 11:14 Eastern time.

Doubtful - read the forums (especially my recent posts) to see why.

And remember, it's not the last bid that wins but the highest!!!!

Lucky me - I've been looking for a psychic.

But, first a test. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 3 - what is it?

YES, as it is also our combined IQ.

Now THAT is heroism – R2 sacrificed endangered brain cells to come up with a response.
