Ohhh, I think Im going to be sick!

[Section103]

I just missed out on a solid card because I was trying to snipe it at the last second, wasnt signed in for bidding, and waited *just* slightly too late to start my process.

I know, I know everything I did wrong and so many other ways to do this right.

I just have to let it out and walk away.

:tear:

Kenny, don't be wearing that t-shirt in public. It's only cool when WE talk about it.

Scott,

Due to my shame, I wear it inside out.

The one time GavelSnipe missed a snipe of mine, I lost out on a great signed T206 card. I was able to trade for it later, but it cost me dearly. It happens!

For me, it was a scored scorecard from the Dodgers vs Reds game at Ebbet's Field on August 27, 1955.

Sandy Koufax got his first career win that day.

My snipe was for almost triple the amount of the winning bid. Too bad the internet went down at the moment I hit the confirm button.

Same experience for me in past

Is it possible for snipe software not to bid for you because it doesn't meet the next minimum bid requirements? Let's say you put a max bid in at $49.90, and the bidding went up by $1 increments. As would have it the bidding went to $48.99, and your snipe didn't go off to be the next higher bidder. Is this example possible?
