Hi Tracy and List,
Yeah, it's a good feeling when you place an early bid and forget about
it. Then a week later you get an email from eBay saying you won the
item for a fraction of your maximum bid. I like it when that happens.

Best regards,

Richard,
I always use sniping services for bidding and my reasoning flawed or
otherwise is as follows. There exists a category of bidders that do not

their maximum and leave it at that, but

It's just so simple to understand why sniping is likely to get you the best

Hello Listers,
My understanding with bidding on eBay is if your the top bidder you win. If you
use a spiner program you don't win unless your the top bidder. Spiner programs
make it easy for you to put your bid in and leave and not worry about sitting
at the computer and waisting time while you
r
them to just allow the auction to continue until the bidding stops.

Hi Richard and List, I agree with your solution but not your objection to
sniping within the framework that is eBay.
Ebay has set up a situation where it is the smart thing to do. As you
suggest, if no item will officially end within even just one minute from the
time the last bid was pla
rmat.

Hi Richard,
I think, but I'm not sure, the reason for sniping is because if you
bid early on an item, you are encouraging "action". As a buyer, if
you want the item at the lowest price possible, then you don't want a
lot of bidding action going on. One way to accomplish that is to bid
on the ite
This mentality, waiting until the last few seconds before bidding, is something
I just don't get. Maybe someone can explain it to me.
I bid for lots on ebay just like I do when I bid at a real auction. I set in my
head what I believe the value of an item and what I have available in my budget
