Question on Dutch Auctions | Auction Sniper

I was wondering if it is possible to do the following with auction sniper. I would like to bid on a dutch auction where whoever wins the most items get something extra. All the items cost the same, only the number of items wanted differ from bidder to bidder. So is there a way to say I would like to bid on one more item then the person who is bidding on the most with X number of seconds left? I hope I explained this well. Thanks.

Nope. There are 5 decisions a sniper has to make:

What auction to bid on
Max. bid
Quantity
Lead time
Bid group it or not

AS only places the snipe – you decide the rest.

When you bid using AS, you place your max bid and AS places it as a proxy bid, placed only once, at the last possible moment. That's it!
