Bidding at the last second is common in all online auctions. Many bidders will wait until the last possible moment to place their bid in an effort to protect them from becoming involved in a "bidding war."

We don't encourage last second bidding, or "sniping" as it is known, for sole reason that if your timing is off, or there is some type of delay in your information being sent through the Internet, your bid may not be placed before the item bidding time ends.

The best strategy for a successful bid is to use the RoboBid option and to place your best bid first. That is, input the highest amount you are willing to pay for an item on your very first bid.
