Great advice. Hit the nail on the head! Been there, done that!

JBidwatcher 2.0 is the best imo, its a downloadable app that you use to navigate a lot of auctions, similar I guess to what most of you use but your computer has to be on and connected to the net in order for it to work, but most net is perm connected anyway.

This software is open source and tends to get updated regularly I really like it and have used it consistantly for the last few months without an issue just depends of which type of sniping software you are after

yea i might give the free sniping software a try, there are more broy and trail blazers collectors these days, and there is heaps of competition on mid range autos/patches

Exactly right.

Sniping or no sniping - the highest bidder always wins.

A card is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it - and if you have an auto CP3 that is only worth $200 and someone is willing to pay $300 for it, chances are you will lose out sniping or not.

I don't use sniping software - haven't needed to yet!

The other reason I like sniping is it lowers the time (obviously!) that you can be outbid.

eg.
camby jersey I want for $10000
*Bid with 7 days left leaves 7 days for someone to bump the price up or outbid *you snipe and give nobody a chance to bump up the price
