#933 Failed to understand snipe value

[Anonymous]

Bid number 7626228138 stayed for a long time at 86.00
euros (see bid history).

Some 20 mins before the bid end I placed a snipe for it
in JBidW for 113.00 euros. JBidW logged in and synched
the time without any problems.

For some reason the programs showed the description in
RED even though my 113.00 was higher than the 86.00
euros of the current offer. Also in the bottom right
the amounts shown made little sense to me.

Suspecting a malfunction I configured JBidW to snipe 45
secs before the end of the bid and prepared a manual
browser page to bid manually.

Luckily since when the 45 secs expired JBidW did not
place the snipe and I was able to win the auction by
acting manually !

JBidW 1.0pre6 on Win XP SP2
using Ebay.it

Thank you

Greetings,
Bugs filed before 1.0 and bugs without responders are being juggled in terms of priority (9 is highest priority). I'm raising bugs filed with a submitter, post-1.0 to P6. Bugs which are filed post-1.0, but without a submitter are P5. Before 1.0 bugs with a submitter are becoming P4, and pre-1.0 bugs without a submitter name become P3.

If the bug is still relevant, and has a watcher (i.e. you got notified when I changed this bug), feel free to bubble it back up again.

Email addresses in bugs are great, but I can't always respond via email. Sometimes, especially for duplicate bugs, I use automated tools (like I'm doing right now) to change status on a large number of items at once.

Thanks for your patience, while I try to pare back the bug list to what may actually still be in the program.
