When I used to snipe manually, I won a few auctions with one second left, but get this, one time I won with ZERO seconds left. Thats right, the time of the bid matched the end time, to the second. In the event of a tie, YOU WIN!

You try sniping from a dail up modem connection - you wanna see art? Actually it's failed on me only twice. Normally I can get it to three seconds to go, sometimes 2. I've had it down to 1 second, but only by mistake of the connection. Twice it was plus one second. I consider it a sign from the Gods that I Was Not Meant To Buy That Item :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
