I gotta chime in here. First, Juli, sorry to hear of your misfortune and I hope that you heal and feel better fast.
Second, I did not bid on this item.
Here is my real reason for chiming in. I have bought a lot of stuff off ebay and I don't use any sniper stuff.
I agree with others on this thread about not bidding until the last 5 seconds of the auction. Put the item on your watch list, don't bid at all until the lst 5 seconds and then bid the most you are willing to pay.
You guys that use the sniper stuff, please explain how this is going to do you any good if someone bids, say $200 at the last 5 seconds and the current bid is at, say $60.
If the sniper software goes up in minimum bidding increments, it ain't gonna make it up over $200 in the last 5 seconds. Also, what do you do, just let the software win the item regardless of cost??
I don't get the sniper software, somebody please educate me.
