Some of you use sniping programs to bid on coin auctions. Which one do you like?

    You can probably ask Russ image

    Or - you could go to Yahoo and type in "free sniping software" and you'll get a lot to choose from.

    I use auctionsniper.com - computer doesn't have to be on and I still can snipe. Sign up and mention my eBay name ( dark_lord ) in the form where it asks who referred you and we both get three free snipes.
    Or just follow this link.

    Software is for sissies but if I'm away from the puter sometimes I gotta do it. I don't like it because it only gives you 10 second snipes but you get 5 free snipes a week. hammersnipe.com
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like to be on the puter when Im sniping. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose, but heck it's fun! image

    I have been using eSnipe.com for a couple of years - give or take. They are revamping their site and adding some new options. I generally only use it when away from computer during auction end.

    That's cheating.

    Doesn't it take the thrill out of it. Timing the computer to reload and upload your price at the last possible second is the best. Especially when you're on a dial-up connection. image

    Sniping programs are ok - but doing it "raw" is much more fun.

    FYI... Russ uses the sweep second hand of his watch.

    I do it without anything... image It makes you keenly aware of precisely how long a second is. image

    for the life of me, I do not understand why anyone bothers bidding until the last 20 seconds OF ANY auction. What's the point? I don't think I have ever bid on anything outside of the last half minute, unless I am using the Buy It Now feature with a fair Buy It Now price. Perhaps I could get the item for a few bucks less by riding the auction out, but towards what end? I would just as soon secure the item, even if it costs me a very slight premium to do so. The time I save is well worth a few extra bucks.
