Humm I read that and it's as clear as mud!!
I have given the details of the auction above so what would YOU suggest is a good lead time?

12 seconds.

OK your advise is 12 secs. Is that enough time to enable being outbid by another bidder manually or not?

If someone can outbid you manually in under 12 seconds, he must have a computer built into his fingers!! Remember, it is the highest bid placed that wins, so bid your max you want to pay.

It's possible - not likely, but possible.

Thank you for your advice. I will set the time for 12 seconds and keep my fingers crossed that there will be no hic-ups regarding ebays new bidding lay out and AS. I take it that the problems members were having last week have been resolved and AS is up and running again?

If it wasn’t, all the posting you saw going on when it was down would be going on now.

Under food-for-thought: why not experiment on a relatively cheap item (something you wouldn’t mind having but weren’t necessarily planning on having) and see for yourself. That’s partially what the free snipes are for – or should be.

Remember – bad news sells and good news usually goes unreported.

Thanks Rick for all your help and advise. Will report back what happens.
Hope all you guys and gals out there have your fingers crossed for me.

Luck is for those that leave things to chance.
Those on this forum don’t rely on happenstance.



Nobel Prize for literature here I come.

Didn't Nobel invent dynamite?

Yes, he did and patented it. He left $9 million dollars towards what is now the Nobel Prize.

You’re thinking of Alfred. This one is coming from Slim Nobel.

Obviously Oppenheimer missed out on a good opportunity.
