Talk about hacked-off! Been watching 'make a change' on ebay since it first appeared and was pretty keen on the idea of owning it. Had an early bid to test the water with the intention of putting a more realistic one in nearer the end. Waited til near the death and thought I'll try this 'one click bid' button; guess what, it didn't work

Not saying I'd have won it but it would have gone for more than it eventually sold for that is for sure. I won't be using it again as it seems to me to be all but useless, unless I'm missing something? Guess I need to get one of them there snipe things but why have it if it doesn't work properly?

They work fine, Auction Stealer pay nothing and get 3 free bids a week. but the rush of bidding at the last minute so quiet good.

Out of interest, what did it go for? - Do records like this hold their price in times of bad ressesion?Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure about 3 - 4 years ago, one went on John Manship's auction for £2,700.00, then about a year later one went for £1,850.00. All depends who's bidding I know, but that's a massive difference. I'd guess a lot less than £2,000.00 in these times.

All the best,

Len.

Cheers. $1768.00 - Times like these, record 'Investments' are people's back up. Trouble is, finding people with money to spend.

All the best,

i was registering for sniper a few weeks ago but decided not to at the last moment as it seemed to be asking for too many personal details including passwords, perhaps i was looking at the wrong one

It has been a while but I think they have to know your password in order to place a bid on your behalf.

I used to use a sniper but some sellers put a block on them and if you are bidding in the final seconds you don't know until the auction is over and you find out your bid has been blocked.

As far as I know all sniping software needs your pw to place the bid on your behalf.

I don't think its possible to block a bid from a snipe either.

I know some sellers can restrict bids.

Andy in order for a sniper to make a bid for you ,it will obviously need to know your password and username

It is bidding on your behalf and would be impossible without your details .

I've used EZSNIPER for a few yrs now and can categorically say ,they havent done anything untoward with my account.

Never had a bid blocked for using a sniper either

I upset this guy once by giving him bad feedback so he blocked me , would'nt be buying off him again so who gives a f:lol: k

pretty sure you could at one time get some software to block snipes although why anyone would want to block one and deprive themselves of extra money is beyond me.

Might be better off in PC, software section as it is basically a technical topic???

Sorry Tabs but they can and do block snipes.

Thinking about it it does tell you when you go to place the snipe that the seller does not accept snipe bids.

No need to apologise JJ.

I'll take your word on it.

See you at LL.

Whey hey.
