Trying out HammerSnipe for the first time

[Comics-n-ERB]

Okay, I am coming out of the stone age (or trying too at least) While I have been on Ebay for over 12 years now I have never actually used a snipe program.

 

So there is an item up for auction that I would like to have, but will not be around for the auction end and I don't really want to bid it up till the end to raise the price any more than it has to be. (cheap I know, even though this is what I have always done in the past, just bid what I am comfortable with and let it ride)

 

So here goes nothing, I'll give it a try and see what happens.

 

Anyone else use this tool or a similar one?

www.bidnapper.com can not be beat David

 

 

Know lots of people on here use other snipe services, but a sports card collector turned me on to this one years ago, tops in my book

 

 

$49.95 for unlimited snipes a year

Thanks Rick.

 

Well, got the item I wanted with the snipe. Seemed to work good and it's free!

I really don't understand sniping. Do you really think you get an item cheaper by waiting until the last second to bid?

On occasion (possibly more often), sure. Plus, can't be logged in all day to follow auctions, so it does it for me. Btw, I've been using esnipe for years. Only had an issue once, and it was my fault (changed my eBay password and didn't do it in esnipe)

Hells yeah!

 

Bidding along the way just drives the price up. Snipper is the way to go, I learned that 10 years ago after losing my second auction in a row.

 

Oh, and I've been using Hammersnipe for a few years now. Only had one auction get away, and that was eBay's fault. (thumbs u (thumbs u

Absolutely. A last second snipe prevents other people from rebidding.

I also use bidnapper and like it. If anyone is interested in a free trial, pm me and i can provide you with a link that will not only give you a few weeks free to try it out, but it will also add a little bit of time onto my subscription. Shoot me a pm if you are interested...

It only prevents other snipers from rebidding!

If you make a bid a couple days before the auction ends you give other bidders days to notice the bid and consider a higher bid. If you bid at the last moment some will not be on-line to respond and some will be watching the auction and scream when you "steal" the item at the last moment.

You also have less chance of shill-bids if you snipe.
