He said he would consider posting, for postage costs. I'd take a guess at around £20?

I'm not too flush at the mo, but might be a bargain? Fingers crossed! :)

Juts don't use the same software as anyone else bidding on an item.

What would happen if you were using the same sniper as others in the same auction ?

If two or more people using the same software are sniping on the same item then the software will favour the person with the highest snipe to win. As a consequence one could end up paying more than what they would if manually bidding.

Your right.

The only way to win auctions these days is to snipe with some silly random overpriced number. A lot more than the item value. The problem with this is that, depending on how many other bidders there are, there are no real bargains to be had unless your lucky and there are no other bidders.

Yes very true, these auto sniping apps kinda take the fun out of it.
It's still worth looking from time to time as sometimes people put cheap buy it now prices on, or something rare turns up in which case you wouldn't mind paying good money for.

It's the same with or without a sniper .
Bid only what you want to pay .
If it goes above that walk away and if you get it cheaper happy days .

No bid more than what you want to pay as there is always someone going to bid more. :lol: It does not mean that you will pay that price.
