My eSnipe setting is 4 seconds. It failed only once to bid exactly then, and
that was on an auction for something I didn't really much care whether I "won"
or not. I've captured a lot of goodies that way, even a couple of things other
list members had bid on. Hey, all's fair in love and auctions! You snooze,
you loose.
But now I've got nearly everything I think I'm ever going to want, so fear me
not. I don't look much at the Bay anymore.
And I once was included on the list of pseudonyms used by list members, but now
I'm not included there anymore. I don't know why I was expelled. But it
doesn't really matter. If I see something I want, you won't see Gunzuiko's bid
until it's too late.
