Arrgh!

 

What's everyone's favorite snipe software? I lost two nice CGC Batmans in the last 5 seconds of the auction. Notice two bids coming in at the same time. I could have been upstairs watching Colbert... frustrated.gif

That's nice that you are comfortable with the confession, but not sure anyone really wants to know that....,

Sean,

 

I am a fan of bidnip (www.bidnip.com). Don't make the same mistake I did the first time -- avoid software-based sniping systems such as Merlin's AuctionMagic. Ebay updates their interface regularly, which means the snipers have to upgrade their software to account for the changes. If you haven't updated your software in time, your snipes won't go off and you'll be SOL. Bidnip is web based, so you never have to upgrade software. It works great, too, and you pay by the snipe only if you win. cool.gif

Sniping??? Oh well, in that case, nevermind.

I use 2-3 'free' ones and enter the same item in multiple times this way the delay between bids does not hurt me. As always put in the max you will pay. I think this is the true "key" to winning, cause if you have a higher number you are almost always going to get it.
