Are they all the same? Do you feel safe giving them your eBay information?

Sniping is about the only way to win auctions on Ebay. The auction doesn't start until the last 30 minutes. If you ain't sniping, you are either paying WAY, WAY too much by over-bidding, or you're not winning.

There's something coming up that I would really like to snag and don't want to have something like that happen again. Not that their servers couldn't go down

I like the rush of time-conscious bidding anyway.

That way you don't over-bid, I know it sounds a little crazy. If you don't win chances are another item just like it in better condition comes along 2 weeks later.

There's 5 days left on an auction and no current bids. Why would you bid on it now? You're probably bidding on something someone else will want, so why drive the price up for yourself? |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Oak Park, MI | | Matt, I've been using Esnipe www.esnipe.com for about a year now with no problems. They don't even charge you for the first two wins. And after, the "bid point" fees (paid in advance) are very nominal and not based on the dollar value of the aution. So far I'm more then pleased. They even notify my if the Auction creaps up pass my price. But I've bought some stuff on Esnipe that has saved me real dollars over the current ebay values. I know because I've resold the stuff for 30-40% more.
