If he was willing to pay 50$ more wy didn't he put his proxy 50$ more in the
first place?
By snipping at the end of an auction give you the chance of winning the bid for
lest money.
Bidder A put a bid of 50$ with proxy of 100$ 3 day before end
bidder B put 110$ with proxy of 125$ 2 hour later
bidder A want it back and decide to put money with incremental bid to 130$
Bidder B also want it back and well... few dollards more put a proxy bid of
150$
bidder A ...
or bidder B wait until the last minutes and put 150$ proxy and have it for 110$
I know that system could be frustrating I used it before and other poeple used
it against my bids.
but the point is ** if you are willing to pay X amount for an item make that
proxy bid for X not less then be sorry **
even in traditionnal auction you could be out bidded by late comer
In two different lugnet driven auction I had a new metroliner * going twice *
before loosing it to someone else and it went higher than I can afford to bid
That is the auction purpuse to get the highest money for the sellers, If you
want to sell it for less do a first bid got it.
