<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 166358, member: 6370"]Oh yes...and I believe all those things I have said are true as well...please dont ever think I am so black and white that I attribute a statement to ALL people who snipe...like I said, I will often find myself sniping for various reasons as well (find the bid late...dont rebid until the last seconds in the hope to avoid a further bidding war) I have studied and searched ebay tracking ancients and quite often I find a coin that was sniped away being flipped at a buy now price or a minimum set higher than what they bought it for...I cannot even count how many times this has happened it happens so much and to me this is just a crappy thing to do but what can one do? As I have said people will try to eek a profit off coins however they can...I am buying it because I love the coin, many are buying because they want to get 5-10 extra bucks off the coin and are mass buying to flip coins...I guess its their right to do so, but I think its crappy and these people use these sniping programs, I have even had a person tell me exactly how they do exactly what I just described.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It fits along with my general theme that this is my hobby and I dislike people profiteering and this is a tool to help with that since to me the 2 main bonus about the program is that it doesnt require your presence (and if you have a thousand bids open this is a big help) and it delays bumps until the last second and quickly bumps to max at the last second to avoid bidding wars (nothing wrong with that as I dont like price hiking bidding wars) opinion...</p><p> </p><p>Also I am cheap ad dont trust people on the internet...I dont want to expend any more money on my hobby than I have to and dont want to spend any extra money on something I can do myself or give my info to someone I dont know.

It fits along with my general theme that this is my hobby and I dislike people profiteering and this is a tool to help with that since to me the 2 main bonus about the program is that it doesnt require your presence (and if you have a thousand bids open this is a big help) and it delays bumps until the last second and quickly bumps to max at the last second to avoid bidding wars (nothing wrong with that as I dont like price hiking bidding wars) opinion... Also I am cheap ad dont trust people on the internet...I dont want to expend any more money on my hobby than I have to and dont want to spend any extra money on something I can do myself or give my info to someone I dont know.

Its my personal opinion, you can call it whining but dont in turn whine about my whining :)[/QUOTE]
