The item could have been purchased from a retailer for about $20 so figure that out. Just recently I won an item for $12.00 while two bidders had already pushed up the price of the exact item from the same seller to $25.00 and their item ended one day after the one I bid on. Usually you can pick it as the inexperienced bidder places multpile bids to get ahead of the highest bid. I see items selling for far more than they are worth because of competition between bidders. Auctions are promoted as winner takes all so they take advantage of the competitive spirit of bidders. For as long as it isn't done, then people who don't want to snipe will lose out. If eBay and sellers want to stop sniping, I am sure that it is not beyond the wit of the programmers to adjust the protocols to have that effect. Even a standing bid in a real auction is better handled than an eBay max bid.

Guess I really don't / shouldn't care - you should bet the max you are prepared to pay. Personally, I think using a program to snipe when bidding on eBay is pretty low.Īctually, been thinking about this after posting. And if it's now gone free, that should tell ya heaps.
SNIPE TIME JBIDWATCHER SOFTWARE
Wouldn't surprise me if yo could buy sniping software on epay. Now everyone and there dogs peddling some version. But that's like trying to find sniping software years ago when it was a real advantage. Since no one is trying to sell any applications like that yet (key word being yet) means it's still more advantageous for the user and programmers to keep it out of the publics eye. Went to a wood guild meeting that night and low and hold the Lie Nielsen rep was there with a set with Coco Bolo handled bevel edged chisels.

Thought they may be fakes cause Lie Nielsen didn't have a set on their website with Coco Bolo handles. Saw a set of Lie Nielsen HSS chisels for the buy it now price of $150. When I was trolling epay years ago I used to see some really low prices in the buy it now category. Anything under that, it alerts you and or buys it for you. If you're smart (I don't epay so I don't apply) you'd be looking for the software that searches the buy it now listings every 30 seconds for key words and a price your willing to go to.

And low and behold some you win most you lose. You'd just have done it a few day earlier. What do you do, you put in the price you're willing to pay and you walk away some you win most you lose. The only thing it's done is put most of the bidding in the last three seconds. But no one can in any way quantify it because they have no idea if they really are. Lots testify to saying their saving heaps. Still haven't figured out how "sniping" is an advantage when there are sooooo many people doing it. I wonder what else it installs and monitors.
