PWCC auctions

I know there are several opinions out there on PWCC but I have a specific question (gripe) about listings. I’ve been looking for a a certain card in a certain minimum grade for a while. PWCC actually has two of them in an auction ending soon, and while I have a slight preference, I’d actually take either at my highest bid. Problem is, the two auctions end at the exact same time. So no way if I can tell if I’ve lost one before bidding on the other. And if I win both - well, I’d have some serious ‘splaining to do when the credit card bill came. Why wouldn’t they put at least a few minutes between the end of each auction?

    I don’t know if this is something you want to take a chance on, but go all in on both. If you could not pay for both, contact them and see what the terms of a loan would be. They do offer loans with your cards as collateral. If you win both, well you own the cards, maybe they will grant a loan which you can then pay off by immediately putting one of the cards up for sale or auction with PWCC.
    I know this isn’t a great solution, but just something to think about.

    The paid versions of better snipe services usually have a "group bid" where you can set to win one (or a specified multiple) of a certain item within a "group". Once you win the limit set, future bids are not placed. This works perfect for the items ending a few seconds apart.

    Group bidding with Gixen they still recommend having the auctions end 2 mins apart. Other program I use states 1 minute. I would be interested in one that can go seconds apart. I have wondered the same as the OP and have run into the same issue.
