[Boatanchors] auction time linked to what timing source?

[Harry Vaught]

I've only seen this mentioned in one of the many posts on this subject
but your bid is not absolute, it only matters if someone comes close or
above your bid.

If you decide the absolute maximum you're willing to pay and enter it it
doesn't matter whether you are "sniped" or not.  It doesn't matter
whether you enter your bid seconds, minutes, hours or days ahead.  You
will only lose if someone wants it more than you do.  It doesn't matter
whether this process takes place over a period of seconds or painfully
over a period of days.

Are you willing to pay more just because you know what my bid is?  I'm not.
