<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1382945, member: 19065&quot;]This is pretty easy to see but it&#039;s elluding a certain majority here... Time remaining 00:01. </p><p><br /></p><p>I challenge anyone in any auction to manually bid in that increment of time. Only a bid sniper can do this.

I&#039;ve said this before in my earlier posts, so if you are trying to tell me that in the last few posts you have missed what I am saying. </p><p><br /></p><p>What happens in the fractional remaining time frame (00:01 down to 00:00) is <i>too short</i> of a span for live human, manual bidding to occur. It can only be defined as &#039;bid sniping&#039; and therefore removes all possibility of bid sniping manually.&nbsp; While many like to think it is possible to bid snipe manually and think I <i>am</i> arguing semantics, it simply is not an option to the manual bidder in the digital era of live auctions with the prescience of such bid sniping software and the speeds they can operate at.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What many of you wish to call &quot;sniping&quot; prior to the invention of such automated services was simply bidding. Bid sniping is a sneak attack in an incredibly short time interval in which all previous bidders are vulnerable to being outbid, with no time for recourse. Only the high bid placed manually earlier can beat a bid sniper, but the manual bidder cannot bid snipe since they have previously placed a manual bid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
