Okay, on ebay when you have a sniper program set up, say i have it set for 5 seconds...does the sniper program know they have a maximum bid? Is 5 seconds ( for the snipe set up ) too short a time for it to consecutively bid it for me until i have outbid them. thanks alot well iguess what i mean is, because they have a max bid and the program doesnt know what it is, that means it will have to auto-bid for me until it overrides theirs, i dont know how fast these programs are...but would 5 seconds be enough time?
