Has nothing to do with how long or how many times you've sniped, just how often you've posted to this forum.quote:Hey...why am I called "sniper in training"??
What did you use for a lead time?quote:Originally posted by pconk1954:
Should I be setting my lead time longer?

I think I just used the recommended lead time when I signed up years ago. I don't even know! I never had a problem before.

If it is that important, I usually use a manual snipe as well in the closing seconds.
I have only done this twice and last week was one. My Uncle won the Scneider Trophy Air Race for Great Britain in 1931 and an original catalogue of the event came up complete with annotations as to lap times. That made a rare item unique and I couldn't take the risk of AS making a mistake.
So I simply doubled my "max" with AS (another thing I would never advise in normal times!)
Luckily for me, nobody else went "Nuclear" and I got it!
Normally, there is always another one coming along in a month or two!

There's still a problem with AS using the wrong auction information. For example, I currently have an active snipe with 18 hours to go, when in reality, the auction ended 2 days ago. When AS =thinks= it's time to snipe, it will obviously be too late. Maybe this was your problem?

Have you clicked update price on your My Auction page?
The last post from AS’ support staff on this forum appears to be Sniper Sara B.’s on January 31:quote:Originally posted by pconk1954:
Is anyone from AS checking these posts
Disregard the “Update Price” suggestion. It doesn’t apply to this situation.quote:Originally posted by pconk1954:
I have never updated a price and never lost a snipe (for this reason)until now.
Based on what you posted, I think that’s an accurate statement.quote:Originally posted by pconk1954:
I don't think it was anything I did or didn't do.
No, but even if your AS snipe isn't necessary to win, you'll still get charged for it, or use up a free trial snipe.quote:Originally posted by NaciEagle:
If also placed a manual bid in the closing seconds, would i be in competition w/myself?
