(I trust gixen to do the bid more than me menually entering the bid). <br /> <br />There was an auction with 1 minute to go when I added it to gixen to bid on it. <br /> <br />I got a message "This snipe may have been entered too late into Gixen and may not be executed." <br /> <br />After it showed that the snipe was 'SCHEDULED'. If it is 'SCHEDULED', plus there is still time left, e.g. 60 seconds left for a snipe that is supposed to be placed 5 seconds before, does that mean it should bid, or is there still a chance it wouldn't because I added it too close to the end time? <br /> <br />For this item, gixen did put in the bid successfully, but just seeing that message made me nervous and want to do a manual bid instead. <br />In future, if 'SCHEDULED' means it is OK, then I can relax. <br /> <br />Thanks,</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
