Re: Looking for Free Sniping Software

Just won another auction, BTW, without sniper tool. Bid max in last three minutes. Competitor's frantic final bid was same as my max but since mine was first, I won.

Agree. You never know... I usually bid a few cents more or snipe at 12-15 seconds (many snipers do at 5-8 so I can win with the same snipe amount).

I think that Web-based are more stable (does not depend on your PC and local internet) as long as you trust them.
Many people prefer PC-based tools as it gives false (but strong) assumption that your password is more secure.

Re: Looking for Free Sniping Software

Server based sniping systems do seem to work better, if nothng else, they have a better Ebay connection that you probably do. Several well known and reputable snipe services offer 3 to 5 free snipes a week, justsnipe, hammertap and esnipe come to mind.

Personally, I use snipe services to prevent paying too much and also allow me set an bid, but have time to recheck the actual value of the item. Seems like some items are ebay are selling too high, so I carefully guage what I want to pay for an item, place a bid snipe order (which can change at anytime) and back away. The keeps me from overpaying in the heat of a last minute bidding war.
