First of all, as a newbie Auctionsniper, the product rocks. And I want the community to know that what sold me over the competitors was the generous Q&A you posted that was available for non-members- classy.
Now my Q- tonite I lost 4 auctions [YES, I read the posts and know the universal answer is to BID MORE] - BUT MY QUESTION HAS A DIFFERENT TWIST. I lost three auctions by EXACTLY ONE DOLLAR over my snipe [which was a bizarre number, like 36.67 etc].
Now, the stats guys out there know that the odds of another bidder randoming picking a number EXACTLY ONE DOLLAR above my bid [submitted in the last 3-5 seconds] is extremely remote; the odds of that happening 3x in a row, astronomically unlikely.
I thought that eBay auto bid to one's maximum bid in 50 cent increments, so it isn't that.
SO- is there a bidding/ sniping program out there that posts $1 over my sniped bid, and does it with a second or two to spare? And what is the defence [other than BID HIGHER]? TX, rcs
