How to Snipe This Fast? 1 Second and 3 Second Snipe on Same Auction

I'm used to manually sniping auctions. I've been doing so for a couple decades. However lately I've been in auctions where another bidder put in two seperate snipes in the last few seconds of an auction.  One at 3 seconds remaining, and another with 1 second left.

How is that possible to snipe and re-snipe that fast?

Thanks,
Lynn

Different sniping services.

Two machines side by side.

OK kids, time to get the Dodge loaded up again. I hear 'Poppy's By the Tree' calling. This trip might be a long one too.

Yes, I was wondering that.

 

Or perhaps one computer, opening the listing twice

Minimizing their window size so they both sit side-by-side on your screen

each with the dollar amount filled in.

 

Then hit the bid one after the other?

Sounds to me like the other bidder set up his sniping / time requirements with a service.  Or perhaps one snipe paid for with a service, and doing one himself at the end, just for fun.

Two sniping services, or two browser windows set up ready to click, or one of each.  Probably the first option.

Multiple sniping tools set to different times? A sniping tool and a manual snipe?
