Bid sniping (or auction sniping) is the practice of someone placing a bid in the final moments of an auction to outbid others before they have the opportunity to counter-bid.
At The Realest, our Extended Bidding feature prevents sniping:
- If a new bid comes in during the final minutes, the auction automatically extends by 15 minutes.
- This gives all previous bidders a fair chance to respond and keeps the process competitive but transparent.
