Anyone recommend a free, safe sniper for Ebay?

**george7** · 23rd April 09, 10:13 AM

No. I recommend nobody have a strategic sniping advantage on eBay.

You can get a sniper on Ebay?

My friends use esnipe on eBay, I don't use it because I figure if it's meant to be mine, I'd win it... And if it's not, it won't ...

I've been sniping the old fashioned way. Manually. At least there's some sport and honor in it.

LOL-honor in online bidding.....

I ask b/c I've had items sniped from me;an item I'm looking at closes later this evening that I won't be able to baby sit in order to win.

I asked for opinions on snipe products, not opinions on sniping. Thanks

I learned a long time ago that putting your max bid in early is a good way to pay more than your max. The best method I've found is to calculate what it would cost you to get the item retail and then bid that amount in the last minute of the auction. A minute is a long time when you're waiting for the auction to end, but chances are another bidder isn't going to make huge jumps in their max bid. That said, none of you had better use this technique on any BMW R75/5 parts!

Send a private message to BEEDEE.

He sniped a nice kilt pin from me a while ago. - A kilt pin that has hopefully rusted away and fallen off his kilt since....(just kidding..I wasn't too happy about it at the time but have since gotten over it)

I forget what service he used but there was a free "first time" trial.

I echo what others have said ...put the top $$ you want to spend on it. If you still lose it - it wasn't meant to be. Plus, you haven't overpaid after gettign caught up in the bidding!!
