Failed Auction

aardvaak

I was today watching a caravan I would dearly of wanted - I waited to the last minute to bid as nobody else had.

A few moments later I looked and someone had bid at the very last minute and got it.

I went to see the caravan and heard nobody else had.

Are there some people who can just sit on their computer all the time or are they not doing anything because they are on benefits and have no other life?

Probably used a sniping tool or app.

I have never heard of a 'sniping tool' is it legal?

Do you really think MSE would be promoting using one if it was illegal?

Did you actually read the link?

Did you actually bid though?
Should have gone for it if you really wanted it!

I don't understand the point of the post. Did you bid and lose? It sounds rather like you didn't bid and now are fed-up you didn't win.

Every point for the post

If the 'snipping tool is legal it certainly does not appear to be fair that some toe rag can nick the bid.

Everyone should be playing on a level field
