Nervous about trying-question

drumbumMember

Hi all,
I'm somewhat nervous about trying Auctionsniper, as my auction has a lot of sentimental value.

I have a what if question:

My maximum for this auction is around $100. What would happen if I set Auctionsniper to bid to $100, then at the last minute I manually bid $101? I would hope to do this to gain double insurance that I won the item.

What do you think?

Read the FAQs, read the forums. You've missed two fundamental rules:
1. never bid whole amounts
2. never use AS for 'must have' items

Why use AS if you're going to bid anyway?
If you're willing to bid 101 then why set AS to only 100?

If it's that important then set up a proxy bid on eBay for 500, you'll probably win...
