<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4495820, member: 66&quot;]As far as I know there are no snipe programs that will accept an unlimited or Buy bid.&nbsp; You HAVE to specify a maximum bid.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It shows the current high bid which is one increment over the second bid. But if the high bidder has a max bid in it DOESN&#039;T show what that max bid is, just the one increment over the previous high bid.&nbsp; This is why you see those instant bids when you place a higher bid than the current one.&nbsp; Ebay accepts your bid which is then instantly outbid by the other guys max bid.&nbsp; That continues until you place a bid higher than his max bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Placing a snipe bid or placing a max bid, in neither case will you ever have to pay more than your maximum bid.&nbsp; But you have a better chance of paying LESS with a snipe bid than with a max bid placed early on.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are up against increment bidders (people trying to get it cheap by bidding one increment over the current high bid) a max bid placed early will be run up until the increment bidders reach their maximum bids.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you snipe the increment bidder placed his bid at the low level and it has just been sitting there.&nbsp; Then your snipe comes in and he doesn&#039;t have the time to bid again and you get it at one increment over his low level bid and well below what he was actually willing to pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Placing the snipe max bid can be done either in person or by the snipe software, the result is exactly the same.&nbsp; But with the software you don&#039;t have to be there hovering over the computer waiting to place the bid.&nbsp; I have won many an auction while I have been home in bed sleeping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
