<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3089683, member: 56859&quot;]In the Biddr application, a prebid is executed immediately.&nbsp; A proxy bid is not executed until the coin hits the virtual block, so it&#039;s like having a bidding agent at a live auction.&nbsp; You don&#039;t have to tip your hand ahead of time like you do with a prebid.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve used Biddr many times with a handful of auctioneers but I&#039;ve never participated in any auctions in which the auction house had enabled proxy bidding, unfortunately.&nbsp; You&#039;ll see that Savoca does not allow proxy bids (the choice is &quot;grayed out&quot; in the drop down menu).</p><p><br /></p><p>A very helpful feature in Biddr is the notification feature.&nbsp; I put a lot of coins on my watch list and for coins of highest interest-- those I definitely want to bid on-- I click to have Biddr sent me a text message approximately 50 lots before.&nbsp; That&#039;s an estimate of course, but it&#039;s better than trying to predict the closing time on my own.</p><p><br /></p><p>The text reminder came in very handy last year on a provincial I really wanted.&nbsp; I was visiting my mom in Texas and we were at the end of a road trip (back-to-back Queen+Adam Lambert concerts in Dallas and then Houston).&nbsp; Somewhere on a back road in Texas I received the reminder.&nbsp; I had her check on the coin and fifteen or so minutes later I pulled off the road, waited a minute or two, executed a few live bids, won the coin, and the resumed the drive home.&nbsp; Mom was quite impressed... although I didn&#039;t tell her how much the little thing cost <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that it is preferable to bid in final seconds when possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
