    Are you using a sniping service like snipestreet?

    The person who won probably was.

    I had this one my watch list but forgot to bid. Shipping was ridiculous.

    Snipestreet or AuctionSentry makes ebay bidding much easier.

    Also, esnipe.com is good. Free too. They say they charge but they never do.

    yeah it was. it was like 20 bucks but the starting bid til about the last minute was bid like $10. 30 isnt to bad for all of them.

    it seems like everyone snipes now, so it is really the only way to go. When I'm in a buying mode, I just usually take my watch list and add everything I want to my snipe list, then just see how it works out. Takes the stress out of bidding. I use gixen - it's free and hasn't failed me yet (www.gixen.com)

    I don't snipe but I'm not usually going after high demand items

    I do my own sniping. I don't need no website to do it for me.



    Although, typically I just shark Ending soonest, and newly listing buy it nows. Sniping isnt to hard when you first see it with only 2mins left :-p

    I use myibay.com, it's a great firefox add on.

    Same here.  It's pretty convenient. 
    I love how the option shows up next to the Share/Print/Report Item links.  Sometimes I feel like it's a part of ebay.

    I do my sniping manually too, I hadn't heard of sites that do it for you until a few days ago, but my strategy hasn't failed me very often. Though if its something with high demand I might have multiple tabs open with bids ready, to minimize wait time, this usually works for me.

    If it's ending while you work, or while you want to go out, or if you don't feel like sitting up half the night, etc. Sniping works much better.

    I checked out most snipe services and I like Gixen the best.

    Free to use in limited capacity max 10 snipes at once and $6 a year for unlimited bids from 2 different servers.

    Me too, I preferred gixen among others in the end.

    I am so used to posting in this category i posted it here out of habit. Is this bad? haha

    I use jbidwatcher, but it sucks. only thing i like about it is that i can use it for free, unlimited, and its not website-based.

    I've never used a sniping service, I honestly didn't know they existed. I usually just do my own dirty work, waiting until the last 5 seconds or so and putting in the highest bid I'd be willing to actually fork over. Maybe I'll check out Gixen in case I can't get online for an auction I'm really wanting.
