Silly Snipe Question ...

HighChopper

If I put a bid on an item already and a higher snipe, as well, I'm not going to trump my "official" bid, so to speak, am I???????

Can I bid against myself?

Feel somewhat goofy asking this question ... so ridicule me, if you must!!!!

I have done this before. Never has a snipe raised my previous bid.

People bid all the time, then decide to add another higher bid. This does not increase your initial bid unless someone decides to bid along with you. I believe that a lot of the guys on this board will place an initial token bid on an item they are interested in, then will set a snipe with their real bid amount.

Personally, I like to set a snipe without making an initial bid. I would rather not draw attention to an auction by bidding on it.

What he said I use auctionstealer and it doesn't trump any previous bid that I have made.

Yes, this is a concern, but I've had justsnipe.com misfire in the past and I've lost out on autions.

Thanks for the input, guys.

Are you sure just sniped failed? If a person bids higher then you your snipe will not register.

It would be like you trying to bid manually and ebay tells you the minimum is not being reached.

You never bid against yourself unless you are in between increments.

And then it is usually under a buck.

There are no goofy questions, just goofy people.
