A lot of buyers now offer in the last 10 seconds of ansale (this is called sniping). The price seems lowall during the sale and then BAM (thanks Emeril!)the price jumps way up in the last 10 seconds and youdon\'t have a chance to reoffer. That\'s why I like topost sales with a \"buy it now\" option. You can justpurchase the book immediately and you know it\'s yours.No offerding, you just buy it!!
