<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 7875562, member: 120820&quot;]Agreed - I was just answering the question why someone might NOT win despite having a max greater than the winning bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always snipe at auctions having a fixed end time, else bid live when possible if there is no fixed end time. I see zero (or rather negative) benefit in giving other people a chance to bid after I&#039;ve bid my max!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also had too many auctions where I&#039;ve submitted a pre-bid and won close or at my maximum, and given the auction rules of &quot;the company&quot; posted above, it&#039;s not even clear if they&#039;d be violating their stated terms by bidding on their own or consigner&#039;s behalf to drive the bid up the maximum you&#039;ve made known to them! On some auction platforms the pre-bids compete against each other before the auction even starts, driving up the pre-bid minimum, which is another reason not to pre-bid unless no alternative is available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
