I normally bid at the last minute, but didn't have time for these chips. I put in a bid for five of them several days ago. On one, I was out-bid immediately. On the other four, I was high bidder till snipe time and my bid ended up setting the winning bid for three of them. Sniping would probably have won me at least one lot; but then you never know how many $thousand the winner actually sniped with [g].
