<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 896448, member: 24633"]Yes, it does. Take this auction for example. The bid was at $108 when the losing bidder placed his bid of $276. The winning bidder entered his bid 6-1/2 minutes later. If the losing bidder had been using a sniping service, it is very likely that he might have won the coin for a lot less. Let's assume that he had placed his max bet with the sniping service at the same amount, $276, and let's suppose that the person who won felt that there might not be any more bidding so he tried to "steal" it for, say, $125. With only a few seconds left, the person who ultimately lost would have won for probably less than $130. He gave the winner too much time to think about how much he wanted to bid.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of the auctions I won while using a sniping service were not because I placed ridiculously high bids, but because of the timing of the bid. When your competition only has only 3-5 seconds left, even if they are hovering over the "Commit" button, the auction program cannot refresh fast enough to pick up the bid.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
