<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrdenarius, post: 3090300, member: 75525&quot;]Last second bids can be a good way to keep other bidders from knowing there is competition for a lot. It is not a way to win an item at a low price if another bidder is committed to spending more than you are willing to bid.</p><p>Bidding live on the internet at the last second assumes you have a reliable connection. I wanted this scale weight in a current auction. I hit the bid button, twice, but someone in the auction room was awarded the bid at &quot;my&quot; price. By the time I hit the bid button again, the lot sold for estimate, but below the price I would have paid. I did win a couple of items in the auction (I will show them when they arrive). One I won in live bidding. The second was from a prebid. Both were below estimate. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]779630[/ATTACH] </p><p>If you are interested in one of the two items, some companies will allow you to bid your maximum on both, but limit your total money spent. I have done this where I wanted one item, and could not bid live. If you win the first bid, you can bid only up to your spending limit on the second.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
