Buy stock in sniper sites

It is amazing how many auctions are getting sniped. Just about everything good that I bid on has 2 or 3 sniper bids at the end (not including my own). With the amount of auctions that close on Ebay everyday, the sniper sites will be swimming in money soon. I really like sniper bids. They don't hurt other bidders and it avoids bidding wars. It fun too as a seller because you watch your stuff go nuts right at the end. It makes it exciting.

    PROMETHIUS88,

    One day auctions wouldn't work - sometimes you need 3 days just to find the auctions to snipe. Even now, I come across auctions that have closed that I didn't see during their 5, 7 or 10 day run.

    But, I see what you're saying - 6 days and 23+ hours watching the grass grow and then 20 seconds of shear chaos!

    Sniping is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned. I only use the snipe services for the late night auctions. I simply refuse to pay for this service. The 5 free credits per period on justsnipe.com are all I need.

    For me the "rush" is in manual sniping. Only God knows how many of us have the seconds hand on our watches in perfect sync with eBay's clock!!!

    I stopped doing the manual snipes a year ago...

    I think that my wife has a special sixth sense that causes her to walk into the office and ask me a question with 30 seconds to go. Since eSnipe came along, I can turn around and ask - "What's that dear? Right now? Sure..."

    Now there is no question in her mind that she's more important than that low pop PSA 9 at 70% of SMR.

    lol.....I hear that loud and clear FB.

    My wife is surely a saint for putting up with my constant clock watching and running back and forth to the PC. I even have a laptop I cart around when we go to visit a friend or family. I know, I know......I'm a LOSER!!!

    In two weeks I'm taking the family to Disney World. I've gotta get my PDA going so I can snipe from space mountain image
