    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I like to count manually to test my timing as well. Not always at 1 second, but a few times. It's a neat rush isn't it? image

  • I can beat em all!

    Last week, I entered a max bid through esnipe of $10.00 or so for a small lot of darkside stuff. I won the auction, paid with PayPal, and am waiting on the coins now.

    The winning bid?

    1 Cent (US) image

    Yes, I felt bad. Yes I bought some other stuff from the guy to make it right. Still, I won an auction for 1 cent on a 4 second snipe. What a waste of esnipe points!

    Bill,

    I never knew there was so many snipers out there. Are you guys using software or just lucky?
    BTW I like your

    << <i>1859 Gothic Florin >>

    beautiful colors.

    Lots of snipers aroundimage

    I was actually going for a 0 second snipe but pulled the trigger to fast.

    When I snipe I either use vrane, hammersnipr or manual snipe. Vrane gives me 7 seconds, Hammersnipe 10 seconds and the manual snipe however lucky I feel.


    Ken the gothic florin really needs to be seen in person. The picture is close but not close enough.

    Those Brits certainly know how to make a coin! The best we seem to be able to do are those ugly Frankies. Twowood

  • Bill,

    Nice going.

    "I was actually going for a 0 second snipe but pulled the trigger to fast."

    '0' second snipe?? Has anyone actually hit the end time on the head and won?. I have tried and hit the 1 second several times but have never even tried for 0 seconds.
