That's why its best NOT to bid on an item until the last possible moment. Otherwise you run the risk of irrational bidders seeing your interest, and then repeatedly incremental bidding on the item, driving the price up to unreasonable levels. <br /> <br />If you snipe bid (as last minute bidding is affectionately called by seasoned ebayers) then you run the best chance of getting the item at a more reasonable price, in the price range you were willing to pay. http://auctionsniper.com enables you to snipe bid automatically so you don't have to physically babysit the item to place your last minute bid. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />snipe bidding is for a@$holes thay should all be banned from ebay <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I for one enjoy sniping. I don't use any snipe bidding software, I just wait until 30 seconds and bid. It's how I win all my items from stupid people who think they can bid and walk away and win it.[:p] Hey, it's a tough world out there......
