I waited until the last few seconds to outbid a guy on an item a while back. I waited until the clock ticked down and was going to score big.....(not sure what item was now) only to hit BID with a few seconds left. The computer timed out (wanted me to re-log in) and by the time I did the Auction was over! LOL. Like you said "Sh/t Happens!

My cell phone signal goes from 4G, 3G, down to no signal and back constantly within seconds and I'm not that far from town. Multiple phones and service chats. No help.

I used to use a service called "Auction Sniper" I quit using it because it would submit the bid 10 to 30 seconds before the auction ended. That was too much time left and I got sniped a few times by someone else. One time somebody placed their bid literally at the last second.
