Default Do any of u guys use ebay sniping software?

The past few weeks i have been bidding on several trail blazers autos, and i always get outbid in the last few mins! unfortunately i have a semi mobile job so i cant be at the pc at all the end auction times, and its annoying to think you have won and then find out later someone outbid in the last minute!

Just wondering if it would be worth getting some kinda sniping program

Nope. I don't really consider them an honest way to go about bidding. That being said, I rarely bid on auctions with more than 15 seconds to go and am usually online for the end.

The other night a card in my set chase was ending at 3am, so I set my alarm for 2:50am, started my laptop in bed, placed the bid, won the auction, paid and was back asleep by 3:10am

I use Vrane.

It's free.

The snipes are random, some being 3 seconds, some being 20 seconds, some being in the middle...

As long as you put enough, you shouldnt have a prob.

EDITED:
You only get 1 snipe at a time. You can pay to upgrade and get unlimited snipes.

Yep ... I agree with the ethics behind it being crap. But at the end of the day, if you don't use one, you'll miss out frequently on the items you want. Even with the sniping tool, I still sometimes lose.

I also use Auction Sniper : eBay Sniper and eBay Bidding snipe, bid sniping for eBay however, some tools will snipe within 1-2 seconds of the auction finishing, and still beat me (as the site I mentioned snipes a minimum of 3 seconds before).

Hope that helps.
