<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 8181949, member: 117420"]A good eye on the clock and quick reflexes can/do beat many snipe apps...but not all/always. Sometimes when not, it's an e-delay in your or their system with transmitting/receiving/registering your bid...have in the past gone round and round with eBay about this...they say not responsible for anything like that and should simply bid a few seconds earlier to be sure bid is received in time. Also, certain more sophisticated apps can beat any manual bid by a bid increment in a fraction of a second before the time ends. That said, I actually prefer these auctions to those with auction "windows" that open-up and renew with each/any bid in the last 10 or 15 mins. When an auction is advertised to end at a certain time...it should end at that time. Also think any form of auto-bid apps should not be allowed...my op.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
