At least it is not an overbid thread. Cross thread stalking again.

Thanks for the information everybody. This will help me save days worth of bidding when i can swoop in and take item whenever i want :)

Tary,

Yours was a good question, because this site is somewhat different from most other auction sites.

But I'm a bit confused.

The "Max Bid" feature is a common tool. Because of this, I fail to see the need to "swoop in" because you've already set your limit.

Do a lot of people change their max limit just because an auction is ending?

Does a "win" feel somehow better if taken the last second rather than 2 days prior with autobid?

^+1. Swooping in will cause you to overbid more often than not. You will eventually win at the price you want if you are patient.

Some of you are pretty funny, lol. This isn't an overbid thread or an anger somebody outbid me, win some lose some. It was more an understanding of this site and bidding techniques. I was unaware that they didn't give a grace period when somebody tries to bid at the very last second before an auction closes. Its just a practice I've seen on most I've used including not tobacco related sites i.e. ebay, etc. to keep people from sniping.

Lesson learned, now I can move up from being "FNG" to "BIT"

My platinum membership allows me 5 minutes extended time on any of my winning bids that get sniped. One day you will achieve this membership too just takes some winning bids to get there.
