No, it doent keep them from finding them at the last minute, they are
just not there to find. With 7 days to look, I dont think I miss very
many because they are late to the party. If you are a dollar short
and 6 hours late, tough luck. Do you think a real auction house would
hold the bidding while someone ran from the parking lot to try to get
in a bid at the last minute?
Hi
You seem to assume that we all have time to watch earlier
items. I find that I can just keep up with one or two
days ahead. Even so, I have to skip maybe 1 or 2 days a week.
Some how, you seem to think that people are just watching
for 7 days. Most are only looking one or two days ahead.
If it is an item that has already gone past my max, I
don't waste time on it. If it is still in my price range,
I'll bid on it. Usually the first bid is just a place holder
below what I expect to make as my final bid.
