Silly Vectis question.....

[wrighty]

Once you place a bid online, how do you know if you still the highest bidder? I look at the bid section, my bid is recorded but doesn't say if I am still the highest bidder or do I assume I am until it says so?

 

[theguiltyone]

Yes, for pre bids you get an email to say youre out bid or if you weren't the first bidder you get an instant message saying not high enough.

Good luck!

Wrighty,

More simple than that , as your are bidding live it will say your the highest bidder and be in green , if you are still green when it changes to the next lot Bingo !! You won

Good luck !!

 

[wrighty]

Wooohooo.... I am still the highest bidder then!! :lol:

I expected that email much much sooner!! :lol:

 

[Mr-shifter]

It's an archaic system. If you really want to bid on something and don't want to miss out or bid yourself up book a phone line for the item you want. It's as good as bidding live.

 

[Hothrebel]

As Ben says booking a phone line is the best option.

Haha!! How did you manage that? I have a similar story from the last Vectis auction, there were 2 Trilogo Jawas, - friend wanted the Meccano Trilogo so we made a deal that he would bid to a specific price and if it goes over its all mine, the Palitoy Trilogo was 1st, he said he came out of toilet and saw the sale live panic and bid and won but was for the wrong one!! :lol:

I have a Windows Surface, which is a touch screen PC. I flicked my finger up the screen without thinking of where I was placing it, and it hit the HUGE bid now button. Unbelievable luck it was the final bid. Also majorly annoying was that several bids before me were still more than the figures were worth.

I didn't bother asking. It was my mistake, I take responsibility for it. It wouldn't have been fair on the seller for the piece to go unsold.
