I HATE SNIPING!! - Designer Handbag & Purse Chat.. The Bag Forum

JessLR · December 10th, 2007, 05:15 PM

I was bidding on this white MK astor bag, and in the LAST 2 seconds, someone sniped it!! I was the winning bidding until then! I am so sad lol, I lost a great deal. It went for less than $65.00!!!

I mean, it's good if you're the sniper, but not when you've been sniped.

Awww.... Srry about that.... Yeah the biddings do get pretty intense at the last second!

I totally agree, I hate snipers also!!!

The MJ bidders are cruel. I have been outbid in the last few seconds too many times.
An Astor for less than $65.00?? Insane!!

Okay, you all have to become snipers yourselves. No not the nicest thing to be, but fight fire with fire. If you go to this website called Vrane.com: Amherst Robots: Internet Software Robots it will let you enter one auction at a time for free. You simply tell it what to be up to and it will bid for you 7 seconds before the auction ends. You do have to let it know your ebay password, but it has been safe for me. (Don't hate me for being a sometime sniper). Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and you do get outbid. Hope this helps

Oh, I see...they have robots bidding for them!!! Dang purse snipers...they are ruthless!!

Yeah. If you have more than 5 feedback, you can get a thing that automatically bids for you.

I hate sniping too but I've had to accept that it's just a required part of buying on eBay. If I don't snipe, I NEVER seem to win anything, even a stupid used paperback with no previous bidders.
I don't use a program so I'm not sure how it works. Will it automatically try to outbid if someone puts in a bid. I'd rather stay hidden until the last minute instead of starting an early bidding war and revealing to everyone that I'm out there. All I want to do is get an even chance with my maximum bid.
