Latest Auction Offerings

What is the rule on auction sniping anyway? A couple of years ago, I would try sniping and another hour would get added to the auction. Today, I was bidding on a pack and got sniped, but no extra hour. I don't mind, I always believed sniping was part of the game, but I must be missing something 🤔
 
Back on 2015-16 I remember that if you bid on the last minutes an extra time was added.
I think this was to prevent sniping and give everyone involved a chance to react.

No such thing anymore. I must say I like it better this way, it creates the anticipation
(adrenaline/dopamine/whatever). Plus it avoids postponing some auctions forever
like it used to happen.

I also remember back then a glitch allowing users to see other people's bidding
This allowed some evil souls to bid just one cent below your bid forcing you to pay your max.
Not that I ever resorted to that... ;)

Once in a while you see some curious things here and there, but nothing major.
For example I remember a few months ago there was 2 or 3 consecutive SSH
auctions that would never appear in the "all auctions" only in the "exclusive auctions"
so it went below the radar for many people.

Not complaining though. In fact I couldnt be happier with the way it is now. (y)😁

You make an offer they can't refuse. Place a max bid even snipers won't dare to overbid. Then find out someone only went few euros under and pay up 900. Could happen.
