Last auction I ever participate in on DNF
TheLegendaryJP said:What?
Auction was 24 hrs.
First $1K bid was at 11:09 yesterday
Last bid 11:08 Today.
You lost. Sucks it was the very last minute but who is to blame besides yourself?

I agree. You either bid early so high that no one else would pay that much or you snipe at the end too. People have been doing this on Ebay for years, including myself.
And who are you?TheLegendaryJP said:I love you man
Check with fearless but the auction is over as of 2hrs ago
JOEMART said:No Fearless
You cannot snipe a $2200 bid on ebay by $1
Let alone the fact that DNF is a bit slow for someone like me living in Australia.
JOEMART said:Good luck to you Fearless , or whattever your real name is.
JOEMART said:It is DNF that allows such stupid bidding at auctions, not you, although if you conduct another one, may I suggest minimum increments.
JOEMART said:Whatever, I will never bid on a DNF auction until the appropriate rules are in place
JOEMART said:BTW , how much do you think you would have got if I hadn't bid at all?.
JOEMART said:Yes Greg
I am well aware who you are
That was just a dig at your reluctance to put your name on the LHS
How could I possibly forget someone who called me a
a scumbucket cybersquatter?

JOEMART said:How could I possibly forget the former owner of DNF who ran auctions every sunday night cst with agreed rules in place?
I did very nicely out of the 3 letter nets, thanks
JOEMART said:Ok, You thought the auction went well
Someone offered $2500
I would have went to 4k for reasons you will never know
JOEMART said:No, I wasn't sitting there working out when CST time was compared to GMT and if there was DST in between and hitting refresh
It was actually my afternoon tea break at the time and I was listening for the doing from the email.
I was relying on emails from DNF
JOEMART said:No, I will not bid on any more auctions that allow snipes of $1 on $2200
So go ahead and don't change anything
Look forward to dr Gilbert's comments when he gets sniped by $1
JOEMART said:Fair enough
So in future, it gets down to who can offer $0.01 cents more than the last bid, in the last 1 second of bidding
i.e. the person with the fastest connection to the servers stateside.
Seems to me there is no point at all bidding, until the last few seconds and then it is just down to luck and speed of connection
