JagWarlord #1 Posted October 20, 2003 You stay up all night waiting for an auction to end so you can snipe at the very last minute, but then 5 min before it ends your computer crashes and you miss the auction!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

holygrailvideogames.com #4 Posted October 20, 2003 What auction did you miss? I haven't had that happen to me, but I have stayed up very late before to bid on an auction only to bid 1-2 seconds after the auction ended. I try to get my bids in at the very last second.

MegaManFan #9 Posted October 20, 2003 I used to have my DSL connection tank on me at random times when I was trying to watch auctions and bid before close. A couple of times I even had to dial up my wife's AOL in a straight panic and attempt to snipe at slow ass 28.8 connections. I think that was one of many reasons (besides MSN's terribly inefficient and idiotic customer support) that I finally switched to Cox Cable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattyXB #10 Posted October 20, 2003 By me something different happen in the past. 3 Minutes after the auctions ends eBay crashed and no auction was working anymore. Then 6 Minutes later all was normal, but the auction I want was ended. But now I have all get later by other auctions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
