hi techies


I was going to bid on an ebay item, unfortunately i will be at work when the auction ends,

so i looked around for sniper programs ,found a few ,but they all seem to ask for your username ( understandable )

and password???


i can understand but not happy

anyone used these programs?Are they safe?If so what is the best around?


cheers in advance


p.s. its for a great valentines gift

just bid whatever your maximum is now and ebay proxy bids for you up to that amount.

i think im gonna have to do that dale

cheers


bugger giving ur password out,they can get into everything from there probably?

strange

There are several sniper software version around that are well used. They need your password to bid as do you.

Kernowlass is a very knowledgable ebayer and has won a community award for her help on the boards so i'd go with her answer.

This is all you have to do. Decide what the most you are prepared to pay for the item is and make that your maximum bid. If you get outbid, then that person has paid over the odds for it and wasted money.

Bidding early can lead to an inflated end of auction price though.

I use auction sniper all the time. You get 5 or 10 free snipes (wins not just bids). They have had my useranme and password for over a year and had no problems. Only thing that has gone wrong a few times is that it didn't bid in time at busy times. So set your lead time to 7+ seconds if you want to make sure it bids, 2-3 seconds missed out about half the time for me.

Once you use up your free snipes the charge is still pretty small and I find by using this I save more than it costs me. It had bid groups, which is a very useful feature. Say I want a nintendo Wii, i can set up a bid group and enter all the Wiis I can find into that bid group, tell the group how many I want to win, just one in this case, and it bids on them all for me, and stops if it wins one. By using this feature I get it to auto bid on loads of items at lower than the going price and it just happens that now and then you get one cheap.

I also use Auction Sniper without problem.
They will all need your username and password otherwise they wont be able to bid for you

ditto - well, the missus uses Auction Sniper

my missus IS an auction sniiper...the curse of ebay is responsible for about 90% of all the stuff I hate in our house.

lol  boldie


thanks for response guys

blonde to the rescue again


i missed out on my bid,booo

i don't think ebay is the bargain it once was?

In that case you must know where to get stuff cheap enough to sell at the new inflated prices ?

amazes you sometimes

This is the worst possible way to bid on ebay.
You still bid the max you are willing to pay....merely 2 secs from the end. Means you will pay less more often.

I cannot bring myself to put in the 'most I am prepared to pay'. It ends up often inflating the final price as someone tries to leapfrog me, making the item's perceived worth higher also. I always snipe personally, or use bidnapper...www.bidnapper.com It is server side (ie not run from a client on your PC, so you dont rely on your machine/connection). I have an account for buying, I don't care if they have my password, it's probably safe with them, and the info they can get using it is limited.
You'll end up saving hundreds by using these. Not a lot to a man of your means, but money in your pocket nonetheless...

 Not a lot to a man of your means



lol paul.cheers


where u playing live these days


p.s Do i have the appearance of someone with lots of means???

It was either the expensive clothes or the extravagant bets ;)

Am commuting to London these days, so my live game has died a death. Apologize to bobafett and bandit, I hope they have found an alternative source of income :)
Miss the Glasgow games a lot, hope to pop in soon. Liking the look of the Cincin tourney schedule. You playing much?

Ah theres a reason, there was me thinking it was stu slagging ur jumper and u explodign at bob!

haha forgot about that, the green and white one. Didn't even realise I was wearing colours til he mentioned. My god, that man can play poker, keep locking horns with him in Stanleys. 'What a player, what a guy...RERAISE!'. Bob's the best, still can't figure out his game though. Love the 'tsssssssss release of steam sound effect' he comes up with every time I enter a pot, he should commentate the WSOP.
Man, I need to get back there soon.

im still in cins, occasionally, picking up loads of stuff especially zaffa,bob,john and a big bald aggressive guy,who takes it as a personal insult when you re-raise him....oh and Andrew.good player always there or thereabouts..


now wheres the manual on how to deal with calling stations

Lets be honest cincs clientel aint gonna win any WSOP/WPT stuff anytime soon

:D

I can see the line up now. Ivey, Cunningham, Willy, Manuel, Tony G, Bandit, Ludo. The old pros wouldn't know what hit them :)

lol Would be classic

tho imagine bob against mike the mouth!
