So you can time bids to take place in the last 5 seconds of an auction on your own? And if there's a counterbid, you can rebid within 2 seconds?

You're a prodigy!

Geez, kinda sensitive, eh? You're defensive about your ebay sniping tool like you invented it or something.

Yes, I can time my bids to hit within the last couple seconds of the auction and anyone can do it. That doesn't make for a prodigy, it just means I'm able to watch a clock. I usually enter my bid with 3-4 seconds left and get the item I want. I can't get a 2nd bid in after that, but I've seldom needed to (The main problem I've come across, which is fairly rare too, would be the person with the standing high bid has their maximum set higher than what I enter.) *shrug*

Well, you're truly amazing. You must be the winningest bidder on ebay with those mad bidding skillz.


Next time I wanna bid on something I'm contacting you instead of using a sniper.

I'm atingle with anticipation!

I'd say I win probably 95% of the items I go for.

I never said that my method of winning auctions was better than your method, nor did I say anything negative in your direction. All I've said is that my method has served me well, anyone can do it and that I've never had a problem losing items to people using programs. So what's with the crabby pants you're sportin?

There's several reasons that letting me know what item you want to bid on won't do you any good.

1-Unless you want to give me access to your account, why would I buy something I don't want?
2-If your sniping tool is as excellent as you claim, there's no reason for you not to use it.
3-You can follow the simple instructions I've posted and win the item using my method yourself if you feel so inclined.
4-Why would I do you a favor?

"I'm atingle with anticipation" for what will certainly be another sarcastic, pissy and immature response. :rolleyes:
