bidnapper?

then go to the store...

If I am awake and around whent the item ends, I will bid at 3-5 sec. If not I will place a bid (way over the BV) at 3 sec. This was I know I win the item even if I end up paying for out the A. This has never happend though.
As it says in my sig...use it...and tell 'em I sent you!

personally, i dont do much bayin', but, come on!!!i hate snipers, if u want an item, u should be willing to pay the FULL price imho, thats just imho not anyone elses

Sniping has nothing to do with paying full price or not, sounds like you have more beef with eBay's auction setup. Sniping's all about getting your max bid in without somebody else having the time to outbid you by a few cents. That and it works great for those auctions that end at 3:30 am on a work night!

For the record I'm with sneekc, bidnip.com is the way to go. The problem with a downloadable version like auction sentry is that it depends on your home connection and computer instead of something like bidnip where they have like 64 servers and redundant internet connections.

So what time do u guys usually enter for bidnip? I was using another site and entered 3 sec. It put in the bid .200 sec before it closed...I know that's great but I'm afraid the next time, it might not be able to put the bid in on time.

I know most put in 3 sec but just wondering on bidnip.com how much "spare" time is between the bid put in and the auction closes usually? And if you put in 3sec, how often does the bid not get put in on time?

[S.A.M.]

3 sec should be plenty. Remember it's not so much who bids last but who bids the most. So if manually entered a bid of $50 and you put in a bid at .2 sec for $48, I'm still going to win. In fact on bidnip.com, I just use the default of 10 sec. That's probably enough time for someone to get in a manual bid but probably not 2, so I hope my max is more than theirs.
