Is that on *all* Yahoo auctions, or only on ones that the seller chooses?
Can a buyer see if that feature is on an auction?

Ed

Thanks Chuck , I guess I'll find out in an hour & a half.

In the notes area of the auction info section it will say whether the
auction
does or doesn't get extended.

I saw that, it didn't, and I lost :-(

I tried a manual snipe with eight seconds left. I was the high bidder for
all of one second. Gotta start the search again.

Now THAT'S a smart feature! It levels the playing ground. I hope ebay
implements something like this.


Ebay is well aware of it I'm sure and its
been discussed to death in several newsgroups but it looks like Ebay just
isn't interested.

I think just for fun I'll state in my next Auction that sniping is not allowed
and will be canceled if caught. Snipe Catcher (TM) is installed.

I use E smipe. I don't have to watch the bid, and I can bid my limit,
and if I don't get it, like Ed syas, I don't sit there being a bidiot.
A lot of people evidently are auto sniping. I set my window for 5
seconds and still lose as many as I win.

I was just teasing. I would love for someone to snipe one of my coins. There's
no such thing as Snipe Catcher (TM), I made it up. When I was young my so
called friend took me on a snipe hunt and left me in the woods. Thank goodness
they came back for me, but my sack was still empty. :^))
