Since there are sellers who will place multiple identical bulk PM auctions using the same images/verbage/time-slot, etc. it affords me opportunities for a virtual double blind study of this auction facet. These common auctions allow evaluation of both standard progressive bid and snipe bid efforts on virtually identical auctions when placing identical bids.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I will place alternating conventional and snipe bids in the same final amount on all of the identical auctions, and can virtually guarantee odds in my favor that I will win the auctions having been sniped at a lower average cost than when I place a conventional maximum. </p><p><br /></p><p>Often, because I can generally predict the average high bid on many commodities/auctions, placing my slightly greater amount bid in both types, I wont win the conventional bid auction, but will win on the same dollar amount snipe bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just my experience over more than a decade of eBay dealings, but it may just pertain to the diverse selection of common-place auctions that pique my interest. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
