<p>[QUOTE="talkcoin, post: 1499768, member: 38842"]This statement couldn't be more incorrect... Sniping at the last second leaves no opportunity for the previous highest bidder to rebutt. I never understood why somebody places a bid on an item anytime prior to the last 5 seconds of the auction? Every coin I win on eBay, I only bid once, and it's 3 seconds before the end (the buck stops there). If I want the coin, I max-bid to the highest amount I would like to pay, and if it hits, it hits, if it doesn't, then it doesn't. Why get into a bidding war 2 days before the item ends, just set a reminder on your phone, 5 min before the end of auction, grab a cold beer and then wait to hook that fish! I have not had a 100% success rate with this strategy, but it works way more than it fails (slow Internet connection or not enough in my max-bid are the only downfall in this strategy). To each his own, but what Morgandude did and just putting in a max bid certainly are not the same thing, IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Erik[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
