At the bottom of the page it says "All times are GMT. The time now is 11:47 PM." etc... have used that before for sniping

This is why I lurk on ebay looking for deals that end during major sporting events and fri/sat nights and sunday mornings
I debated £400 at 21:59 but I don't like the letters much, in hindsight I could have flipped to at least 2-3 people on this thread alone, where as now Rob has it its going no where

On mine they show slightly different sometimes, sometimes they show exact sometimes there -1 minute, once was -2 minutes. I assume its down to processing time, so if the form starts processing at 11:45:54 and finishines at 11:45:24 then there will be 1 minute difference the same for longer processes.
I havent really paid attention to it.

We can debate all we want..... but in actual fact I had won it in real time. I realised to late that the acorndomain time is +1:00 GMT (as stated below in the footer) and adding the +5mins server processing time the time stamp shows my bid was placed at 23:05.
But whatever happens, happens for the best as they say it because, now thinking about it (and honestly not saying that because I lost), I really don't know what I would have done with it, if I had won, apart from parking it!
Totally agree with Skinner, not the best letters/ combination of letters, thus I think it will take a really long time to resell to an end-user. So don't think its a quick return investment. I'd probably get a lot more money in interest (even with the recent rate cuts!) by leaving this money lying around at NatWest!
Anyone else have an opinion they wanna share?

I think thats the danger with sniping, you win some and lose some and overall it all balances out. I just hope I dont miss a cracker due to this!!
