Hi All,
Looking back at a few of the more read posted led me to this fact: my readers are really interested in Ebay and auctions.
As a result...here is another blog entry regarding auctions - and not just Ebay since I don't want to seem biased toward it.
I suspect that many readers who have used Ebay and other auction sites have lost out on a particular item by seconds.
One way around this is to use a 'snipe' service which literally waits until the last second or two to send a bid to the auction house. By sending a bid at the 'last possible' moment, the user is preventing another, higher, bid from coming in and causing the first bidder to lose the auction.
There are a few free online services that are available for this type of bidding. One of which is called Gixen. Click here to visit the site. Gixen users don't have to download any software and the service is good for an unlimited number of snipes...
Another auction bidding site is called AuctionSniper and can be visited by clicking on this link. AuctionSniper has a link for users so they can see a video of how the service actually works. Click here for that link.
Finally, click on this link from wikiHow to see an article on 'How To Snipe on Ebay'. Why this site and not another auction bidding site? Because I didn't want to be redundant and make the blog post just a list of auction bidding sites. Besides, users can just click on this link to see the search 'ebay sniping' that I did to generate the results for the first two bidding sites I mentioned.
So, good luck bidding and I hope all your auctions are winners!
Regards,
Stu
