I was all set up to win some early Dungeon mags (2-4, 8, 13, plus 112 and 124) from Ebay Canada, when somebody swooped in and stole them (!!!) from me.

Was it you?

Was disappointed because the auction ended just before I got out of work, and I couldn't check the status.

I know there will be more at a later date, so not really upset. Hope whoever won them enjoys them.

Skullhammer wrote in Sombody Sniped Me! (light-hearted exasperation):Ebay should take a page out of Frank's book and provide a seller option to automatically extend an auction if a bid is placed within a certain amount of time of the auction's closing.  Everyone wins except for snipers !

Wouldn't that lead to snipers who bid just before the "certain amount of time"?

I remember Ebay had this option many years ago.

I was watching the auction and thinking about it but decided against it.  I think his Pacesetter modules sold pretty cheap too - a good pickup for someone.

Yeah. I sometimes snipe too. I mostly lose, though. That's another reason I put lighthearted in the thread title.

I actually won 2 of the things I was bidding on - #8 and #13. $28.00 and change - including tracked shipping - from Ontario, Canada to CT.
A little more than I wanted to pay (isn't it always?), but a good value to me in the end.

I think manual snipe is one of the reasons i still follow ebay... It s so exciting!
I have never tried automatic snipers,  as this would mean no fun for me.
