Under New Management

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Rolf, I was told some time back that some people have software that can enable them to bid rapidly. I know of what my Californian friend Ken called 'snipers' who do nothing at all until the last minute say and then bid and keep an eye on the seconds running down to grab the goods. I always found that the Pacific West Coast had the benefit of time on their sides whilst we were in bed fast asleep. Ken once acquired an item with 20 seconds remaining! It does make me sick though that in the past I was beaten at the last moment it seemed by someone who had never played the 'rules' and bid openly when there was the opportunity but I suppose that's life! I cancelled my E-pay account and am glad that I did.
