I'm sure it's very convenient to some but this is not how I bid. At Emovie, I always bid at the 5mn mark; at HA, I bid in person when the item is up for grab or not at all. It obviously has its limitations, I wish I could have bid on more today, especially on two items that went way way lower than what I would have bid, but so be it. Being there is part of the experience.
