    All my sniping is by hand. Gotta love it. Using a program to do it for me just won't get my heart pumping, ya know? :D

    And I always have a max bid. Like "if it goes over this amount, I'm done" kinda thing. And another trick with ebay is to enter your max bid as a "weird" number. People bid stupid even numbers like 35 dollars or 53.00 or something like that. No no no no. You gotta go for 35.17 or 53.09 to get it. Then you outbid the people that enter the "normal" numbers even if it's about the same price as you. Some people think along these lines sort of, and put ".01" in their bids. But my system beats theirs too :D

    This makes me wanna go bid on something. Gosh I need money for that first. :lol:

    I love bidding at the last minute. People get all comfortable thinking they're going to win, then I step in. Only way to bid! Haha

    There is something about giving my username and pw to someone that has personal info on it that makes me feel unsafe about giving that stuff out. Only you should know your pw. Too easy these days to have someone steal your identity. I'll deal w/ manual sniping and knowing I am the only one that knows my pw and losing than using a program.

    I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm a self-confessed snipeaholic. I won't even put the item on my watch list. I'll save the link, set a mental note of time the auction ends, and hit it 45 seconds before closing time.

    However I did not steal your light. :)

    I love tabs for this very reason. From the RE auctions, I had like 10-15 tabs open at once, arranged in the order they finish.
