Default Re: Auction Sniping Services

Well,i have bit the bullet & tried it as well on something i wasnt fussed on but didnt win. Realised afterwards about the whole six second thing,which is a little stinky if someone has a three second thingy in place. Still not really sure about it to be honest,i may use it on things that i am not too worried about & if the time is stupid early in the morning,other than that dont know. I like the whole set & forget thing but i always like to see an end of the auction,get a feel for what the other bidders might do,if the other bidders have bid on similar items or the sellers other items. You never know what other bidders will do.

I bid on one auction today,no bids at $20 & 2 min to go then someone bids. At one min to go they bid again,at 30 seconds to go they bid yet again. So at this stage i am thinking poo bum,i am not getting this cheap anymore. I throw a bid in with 4 seconds to go & win at $24.56. I am buggered if i know why the first bidder even bid 3 times just to go to like $24. Gets more stupid,same bidder bid on another item from the same seller,starting price $20 bids 3 times again & i won the item at $21.50. This is the sort of fun you miss out on,the thrill & the rush of being one step ahead with mere seconds to go. Use a snipe its like you walk in & its "oh,did i win that,great". Doing a manual snipe is a thrill ride that can be addictive,lol
