<p>[QUOTE="MKent, post: 1884411, member: 33625"]Well thanks to my new CT friends I have learned about Gavelsnipe.com. I have been able to win several auctions at great prices by using it. Until today that is, I had bids on a couple of items that ended and lost even though I had the highest bid. I learned that even though you have the highest bid on Gavelsnipe it still has to meet the minimum bid increment. I had always just posted a maximum bid in the past and sometimes won by pennies because a maximum bid posted on eBay counted regardless of the minimum increase since it was the first bid placed. I'm sure most of y'all knew this but I was disappointed a little bit to be the high bidder and lose. After a minute of disappointment I realized that my high bid was my Max Bid and I would have been outbid anyway. How do y'all feel about placing a max bid compared to using a SNIPE service?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
