				| 
 |  
				| I received this message when entering a snipe:  "This snipe may have been entered too late into Gixen and may not be executed."   The auction had 22 hours remaining. 
 How much in advance must snipes be entered?

				| This shouldn't happen, this message should show only for auctions ending in less than 2 minutes. What is the item number? |  |

				| The auction number is #140172453549, and the snipe has now been accepted.  It could have been that I failed to enter a bid before trying to add it.  Sorry. |  |

				| Yes I think you are right I think, from experience, that it is possible to get this message due to an incorrectly formatted amount in the bid field. _________________

				| Ok, thanks... it's still a bug, the message should be "could not add this item", not this one. |  |
