[78-L] Sniping

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I say "screw it!". I bid at the last minute, take one shot at what I 
think is a fair price, bid and be done with it. Then I check back hours 
later. If I've won, great... If I haven't, great. All the rest of it 
just isn't worth the energy.

An item will not have any bids until I bid, then it is bid, bid, bid. The bad part of sniping is, if you do it correctly, you have only one chance. The computer clock is not good enough for sniping, it takes high speed internet, and a GPS, or atomic clock. My bad memory causes me to lose out on many items I would like to have. I have to set up an alarm clock to remind me to bid. It does no good to have an auto bidding service if you are to cheap to bid a reasonable amount on a hot item. Although days before hand, I have bid an unreasonable low amount on items I did not care if I bought or not, and won.
