Sigh, I've been running into a problem of late on the MP. To explain the problem, I must first explain what kind of vendor I am. I am what's called a sniper. I basically wait until the last few seconds and bid as low as possible on items that have potential profit. I'll bid on anything, from L Blox to Vial of Unknown Liquid and some sealed letters, then either sell it in the store or sell it on the MP for more than I bought it for. My problem is this: I see a good deal that is going unnoticed and the time left is 40 seconds. I refresh the page until the remaining time is about 10 seconds left(Give or take a few),then I usually put in a bid that's a tad lower than the last one. But sometimes on these good items, I will get a page that says: Cannot get account info or something like it. I'll refresh it and it fixes, there is about 3 seconds left. What I want to know is why does this happen? Is there any way to prevent it? Discuss please.

I'm not a sniper, but I've run across that problem more often than usual of late, especially on items that are cycling fast such as the Easter Egg last weekend. When I don't go through pages and pages of the MP too fast it seems to lessen, so it might be connected with stain on the server.

As far as I can tell it's a server overloaded problem. It happens.

But I figure for every deal I miss, another one will come along. To quote Suze Orman (a personality who gives advice on making money in real life), "don't think about what you HAD, look at what you HAVE.". Which means if you spend all your time grumbling about missed opportunities, you'll miss the new opportunities coming along all the time.

Yeah, I hate missing deals, too. But I've also gotten a lot of deals. It all evens out.

Instead of constantly refreshing, Just keep hitting the "Home" button under the persons avi, I always do that and I've gotten alot of good deals.
