Ebay Sniper

[wvpiper]

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

Be nice. He has the right to say what he pleases.

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!

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!!

Actually, he doesn't, it's in the forum rules that there is no right to free speech here ith:

Anyway, comment as he may, it doesn't mean I cannot likewise say what I please. My request to address the topic at hand wasn't 'mean'. Let's be honest, he did in fact question my honor and integrity, so if anyone needs admonished to be nice, it's not I.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Sir,
In no way did I criticize your character.

That's what happens here... unasked for opinions. Par for the course.


No, I don't use Ebay, so I don't have any ideas for you....sorry

Well I won, sniper free for what it's worth.
