So yesterday I got rather heated telegrams accusing me of sniping, penny bidding and generally wasting someones time. Are such practices uncouth? I mean if I pop into the trade market and I see a good deal on a card and I throw down a bid at the last second is that frowned upon?
If you drop in within the last minute and do a .1 bid it can be very irritating for the person who went looking for the card. Quite a common occurrence sadly. There's some players who only penny bid.
Happily oblivious to NS Drama and I rarely pay attention beyond 5 minutes
Personally, you can penny bid but after a few tries you should start throwing higher amounts to not un-necessarily extend out the timer. Seeing two penny bidders increase bids by 0.01 in the last second to extend another minute an auction eventually lasts 3 hours is just frustrating to all.
Everyone should have more productive uses of their time.
