<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 2742776, member: 53130&quot;]eBay has conditioned me over the years to place bids within the last 10 seconds of the auction. Their style of auction almost demands it because there is no allowance to respond to a higher bidder. The timeframe is absolute, and at this point, so many people are using sniping programs or manually sniping, it is almost a necessity for popular items.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a bit more relaxed with live auctions where I have the opportunity to respond to a higher bid. I may put in a 90% bid well ahead of the end time, and monitor the auction live, responding to other bidders as needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have lost out on great pieces because of a last second snipe, and I have won great pieces by being that last second bidder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
