An item with a current high of $90 and increment of $.50 may have a current high bidder with a $100 maximum. If I bid anything between $90.50 and $99.50 as a maximum they're going to win at $.50 more than me regardless of when I submit the bid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RkyMtnHigh 0 #4 October 11, 2007 Thanks for that insight Drew...I did not realize that about Ebay bidding. *shhhh* I'm a true blonde but hell I thought we were all on there "real time" bidding and hitting submit. *Bastards!!* _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #6 October 11, 2007 Auction Sniper can help you with that, giving you the option to set your maximum price and the seconds before the end of the auction that you would like to activate your snipe. They'll even give you five free snipes, last I checked.
