Is there a program or something that can do this?

I really want this bike and I'm afraid of being out bid by a few dollars, but if it gets over a certain price I think I'll pass.


This thread can also be about any cool stuff you've managed to get cheap on eBay.

This, the only situation in which sniping works is when people who don't know how to internet don't know what "enter your maximum bid" means.

With entering your own max bid and not having to be present, sniping sounds like a recreational thing, just for the the thrill of it.

I got bought my macbook pro 2 years ago brand new for 1000 even on eBay, I was pretty happy.

Next time, save the money and buy an English textbook instead.

auction sniper,com, I've never used it because I'm a normal person who uses maximum bids

Sorry this is the first time I've actually wanted to bid on something

There is a box right in the middle of the page that says enter your maximum bid.. and it bids for you until it hits that

I almost did, but I didn't want to starve to death.
