<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 166152, member: 3813&quot;]Speedy, I used to do this but a sniping program does exactly what you describe.&nbsp; You just don&#039;t sit there and wait for the last few seconds.</p><p>You say that sniping is, &quot;a waste of time &quot; -but then say you manually bid on auctiuons at the last minute.&nbsp; Again, you are manually doing what sniping does.&nbsp; It is *no different* than waiting until the last few seconds and manually submitting a bid.&nbsp; The only difference is that you decide in advance what your maximum price is (just like regular ebay bidding) and it doesn&#039;t submit the bid until the last few seconds, same as you&#039;d do manually.&nbsp; Instead of all of this happening at the last few seconds, you can (somewhat rationally) decide what you hope to win it for days or weeks in advance and not have to be there for the final minute.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also there is bid grouping, where you find a bunch of the same coin (same grade, etc.) and set snipes on them.&nbsp; If you win any *one* it cancels the other bids.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you bid on ebay and don&#039;t like sniping you probably haven&#039;t tried it.&nbsp; Once you do, I doubt you&#039;d have anything bad to say about it.&nbsp; It&#039;s simply an automated and more organized way of doing what most people do manually.&nbsp; Although I still bid normally, I always wonder why I didn&#039;t just set up a snipe.&nbsp; Yes you can manually beat a snipe.&nbsp; I&#039;ve beat my own snipe, heh (after deciding at the last second that I was willing to pay more to try to win something).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
