Description

The core auction sniping feature: schedule a last-second bid on a monitored listing, execute it with NTP-synchronized timing, and handle soft-close extension logic.

Scope

  • Configurable bid offset: N seconds before close (default 8s)
  • Human approval gate before any bid executes
  • Soft-close detection: if platform extends on last-minute bids, adjust strategy
  • Proxy ladder: bid in increments up to a max, reserve hard snipe for final window
  • Win/loss notification

Platform targets (v1)

  • eBay (Buy It Now + Auction)
  • CT Bids (Connecticut state surplus)

Notes

  • Playwright automation for bid execution with precise timing
  • NTP sync for reliable last-second window
  • Reserve detection from bid history patterns is a stretch goal
