Re: [OT] Ebay Sniping software

["ianh1000" <ianh1000@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have used Auctionsniper www.auctionsniper.com since someone used it
to win an item I was selling. It has never failed to win an item for
me that had not gone above my price limit. It saves me having to stay
up late and stops me getting excited and over paying. The problem as
a buyer with using the auto bid is it pushes the price up, why even
show your hand until 5 seconds before the auction closes?

The main problem on Ebay is the stupid prices some people are happy
to pay for things ( ok its good when I am selling, I often see people
pay far more that the going shop price for items.

just my 2cents worth!
