Snipe Software recommendation

[njdevilsfan-migration]

Looking for a recommendation on a snipe software to run on my PC (not looking for a service to incur fees with). I'd be very interested in hearing feedback from other forum members rather than realize the software I selected is buggy and caused me to lose that book I really wanted.

 

Any feedback (positive or negative) on snipe software is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Brian

Has anyone tried this software?

It may just be me, but I'm a little cautious about putting my eBay ID and password into a third party program.

You have to do that for any sniping program. Otherwise, it's impossible for the sniping software to place bids for you.

I understand that.

But I don't just go putting my password into a program blindly.

It would be nice to have someone back it up.

Someone that has used it for quite a while.

 

Someone that hasn't had their account taken over.

I use AuctionSentry myself. It seems to do the job. (And it was cheap at the time- $10)

 

Here's an old list of sniping software (still pertinent though). That AuctionMagic link for $12.95 seems to be a better deal. I might check it out myself.

I use it all the time, which is why I recommended it. I just didn't feel like writing a long testimonial. I hoped that my A+ grade would suffice

I use merlin too and it's always worked great. And to give credit where it's due, comicinvestor/joe collector/?? is the one that turned me onto it. The software resides on your machine, so you need to be "online" for it to work. I guess there are other snipe services/programs that you "send" your user id and password to, but those types are against ebay rules.

Definitely awesome. Just make sure to give yourself some room (lead time) on Sundays.
