Hey, guess what? If you choose to participate in auction sniping, latency, technical glitches, etc. are a risk you run for not submitting a normal proxy bid ahead of time. If you want to auction snipe, you should be subject to these risk factors - not get a do-over if your snipe was unsuccessful.
- libria 12y agoYeah, pretty shady behavior. While the server could have legitimately been down, this is ripe for abuse. On the bright side, nerdc0re.com is available and might be a good first pass filter for hardcore nerds. =)
