eBay snipers

[348]

Hate the snipers. Lost a perfect Christmas gift for my wife to those ungodly fools.

Don't hate the player. Hate the game.

People who use a service are cheaters and you suck. Get out your smartphone at the dinner table and snipe like a real man.

Getting sniped sucks. If you really want the item bad enough, auctionsniper.com will let you set up a bid that can submit with 3 seconds left. I think the first 3 entries are free.

If you bid early, your only raising the price on yourself. I wait until about 10 seconds are left.

My sentiments exactly. By the way, do these automated snipe programs sneak in the highest bid no matter what the current bid is, or does the loser - er, I mean, user - put in a max dollar figure?

Gunbroker has it right where a bid placed within the last 15 minutes (I think that's the time interval) resets the clock for another 15 minutes, to prevent the sniping on eBay and other sites. The down side to this is that a hotly contested auction can drag on for hours after the nominal closing time.

Gunbroker has it all wrong. Sniping is the best part of online auctions.

I agree 100%. Additionally, that 15 minute rule can really be an inconvenience. Let the damn thing end on time!

Never bring a Smartphone to a snipefight
