The only thing worse than passing on an item you shouldn't have...

[holymadness]

...is letting an ebay auction deadline go by during dinner because you forgot about it, only to discover upon return that the item sold for far less than you would have paid.

 

[forex]

ever heard of sniping?

 

[holymadness]

No, but looking it up, I don't think that's my problem.

I usually wait until the last hour or so to put in a bid, since doing so early tends to just drive the price up. This time, I plain forgot.

You give them your ebay account information? Seems sort of sketchy.

You could just snipe the auction yourself, I do it all the time.

 

[rioni]

hehe, you would need to do that with any service that you sign up with.. how else could it snipe? I've been using gixen for about 2 years and have saved hundreds if not thousands. I pay $6 a year for the mirror snipe but it's free if you wish.

It's safe, don't worry about it.

There are programs that snipe for you as well.
