I understand. Maybe I should open up an Ebay bidding business. Charge maybe a percentage of the winning bid? [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by 1shado1 [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BigRedneckRob Here's the way I see it, and I've bee on Ebay about five years now. I consider a sniper someone who has software that enables them to outbid another bidder literally two seconds before an auction's end. I think that's wrong. Here's what I do: I look for things I want on Ebay. When I find something, I save it to my favorites and keep watching it. If it stays in my price range, I still keep watching it. I won't bid until literally less then one minute away from auction close. I don't use any sniper programs, though, and will not. It's not fair. Maybe some people do have more time to sit in front of the computer. If you really want something, you need to make it a priority. I have lost maybe three bids in five years. I've gotten hate mail. Maybe I deserved it. The fact is, until Ebay makes last minute bidding illegal by their standards, all's fair. [/quote] Hey Rob, I understand your point, but sometimes it's difficult to make something I want on Ebay a priority. I don't think my boss would appreciate me calling in to work saying I was either going to be late, or not coming in at all because I need to bid on an Ebay item. And I don't see where using sniper software is unfair. The fact that free sniper software is available for ANYONE to use DOES make it fair. If it was only available for use by a select few, then it would be unfair. Of course, this is only MY opinion. [/quote]
