Just a precautionary tale for any other 3.am snipers, don't forget to disable the computers sleep, for future reference, I overlooked this on my Mac & it has probably cost my one vg+ copy of The Foxes Mighty Good Sign on Fencoe, that went for an unbelievable $36, I am proper gutted.

If you use a sniper and place your bid in advance, your computer doesn't have to even be connected to the electricity let alone the internet!

I use jBidwatcher third party software for the mac, works fine when computer not asleep, don't want to place any bids til 2 seconds before the auction ends.

You don't have to if you use an online one, you place your bid a week before the auction ends, set it for 5 seconds whatever, then forget about it. I can now see why yours didn't work, though 2 seconds is too short a margin anyway to win every time.

Here is a link to a free ebay sniper, this works 100%, and it costs nothing, you don't have to be on the computer etc

Ah, right Pete, so if I actually sign into to the software sever & upload my bids, it will be done by proxy??

Now I get it, I just left my computer on and left the auction running, clearly this is hit & miss.

There's where I went wrong, save som leecky too!

Okay Pete, cheers

Get it now, the software i use will be fine for that, just wasn't using Jbidwatcher severs to do my bidding for me, was just leaving my computer on, which like you say, no need.

Yeah you can do it days in advance and just forget about it, then you often get a pleasant surprise a few days later!

Too late for that Foxes record now

Have just made my account active with My jbidwatcher, sure it'll be fine in future.

Cheer ears

Does it get played out these days? moody girl group tune that grows on me, $36 dollars is sinful.

I use Auctionsniper.com, has sniped well 99% of the time, a couple of times for unknown reasons, even though snipe was set correctly, it failed to 'snipe', had simply disappeared...
