Topic: . - page 2. (Read 1440 times)
The changing of pages has gotten me some tough losses. Only one person can stike at the last second. There are no auction functions just time stamps. But I agree with mnuts not being able to post and then go over the time limit is a killer. But I have to say it makes it interesting....
If you try and post to a thread, and someone else is posting at the same time, and they beat you to send ... Then the forum tells you the page has changed, forces you back to the page, and you have to try and post a bid again, hoping no-one else beats you again, or the auction end time passes
At the end of an auction it's common. Especially if there is no sniping. Seem to recall some limitation of you only being able to post to the same thread once every 30 seconds ... But that might be litecointalk, or if you are a newbie .... Can't remember now
It's a forum rather than an auction site, so there are limits that you have to work around. Its a risk waiting to the last minute. Likely to see a bid made to scare off others, followed by a micro increase at the end just to nick it..... With lots of people frustrated at being locked out due to the thread having changed, and someone making a bid after the end time in the hope of still being allowed to make a bid .... Maybe !

I think it is interesting how you are both anticipating the forum to go down and are allowing for sniping at the end of your auction.
I am curious to see how this ends, am in process of changing settings to not warm me of new replies and am watching to see how this turns out.

Yea I'm a student of eBay and prefer a fixed end time. Would someone fill me in on why the no-sniping, 15min extension rule is so popular?
