<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 324060, member: 4791&quot;]I dont really use it to save money.&nbsp; I use it because I forget to bid on auctions that I have an interest in.&nbsp; What I have seen in my 10+ years on ebay is the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>a.&nbsp; If there are bids on an item, it has a tendency to get bid higher in the last few seconds.</p><p><br /></p><p>b.&nbsp; If there are no bids on an item in the last few minutes, chances are it wont grab a bid, I dont know why this is but like I said, 10+ years of being active on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>c.&nbsp; Snipes are good for auctions, I used to think the other way.&nbsp; I know that if I want an item, I set a price in my head, I either bid on the item at that moment or I write it down to think about.If its an item that has sale power. ie.. Large Cents, I know that it will garner bids even if its a junk coin.&nbsp; I decide what I am willing to pay, set my snipe and forget about it.&nbsp; Some I win, some I loose. The ones that I lose I wouldnt have won anyway since I already had a price in mind, just playing the game and placing my bid last is all. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this makes sense,&nbsp; does to me ; ) </p><p><br /></p><p>if something has alot of bids on it I think its human nature to say.,.&nbsp; I am missing something, relook at that coin.....&nbsp; When you do relook, its what the heck, its only another 5 bucks..&nbsp; Placing a snipe resolves the FEVER issue.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Make sure that your snipe is your largest amount your willing to pay or it will never work for you.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck and happy ebaying...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
