<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 2070413, member: 24633&quot;]When I was bidding on 50-100 items a week, I didn&#039;t have time to keep track of all of them one-by-one. The sniping service was the best way to manage my bidding activity, and I would be informed whenever an item went over my initial bid so I had ample time to decide if I wanted to change it. As a rule, the snipe bids were entered 1-2 seconds before the close of the auction, and by the time it posted there was no way for anyone to outbid me unless their initial bid was higher in the first place.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another thing that helped me to decide how much I wanted to bid is the &quot;Watch Count&quot;. This is a convenient tool to let you know how many people were following an item whether they have bid or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.watchcount.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.watchcount.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.watchcount.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If the count is high, it might be advisable to set your max bid higher (without going over the expected value). If the count is low, it&#039;s possible that you might win the item for less than your max.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using the sniping service coupled with the Watch Count enabled me to win about 85% of the auctions I entered over a period of several years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
