Auction Snipping...Do You Do It?...Do you Despise It?

[Cigar_83]

Part of the game imo. I always scratch my head though when I see 20 bids on an item that expires in 5 days. I guess bidding items up is also fair game.

But can we use Snipper Software on the FOH Auctions, since Ive only seen Auctionstealer for Ebay, but don't know of any other software that would work on other Auction Sites.

Sniping on FOHA is a hit and miss game.

Less than 5 seconds and the connection/server doesn't process it.

Tried another with an up bid at fair price 30 seconds to go and the site reloaded. Should have won but nada....seller lost 10% upsell.

Hope for the top bid option soon.

No way to avoid it. It’s all part of the game whether you like it or not. Unfortunately the internet based auction has to have a cut off time unlike in person auction where you can get the opportunity to counter

That will be the next evolution but it will require some extensive testing.  Ben and team will be onto it once the last of the bugs on the current system are ironed out (looks to be done). 

Overall, a week in and it is going pretty well. It will only get better.

Is it sniping software that is leading to bids of $1, $6, $11 for a box of 2013 PSD4, or are there really people like that?

A 5 day auction is 4 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds of marketing/advertising and 1 second of bidding as far as I'm concerned.

Yup.
