It was as if they'd been made for people who knew about programming but not much about design and ease of use. Well, even though the other sites usually worked ok, they were all ugly and hard to navigate through. But why would I bother to start my own site, when there were other sniping sites showing us all 'how to win on eBay' left right and centre? This is why I decided to become a real auction sniper aficionado and start my own sniping site. Like a lot of people, I love winning, winning at anything, love, darts, football, snap - anything.
#SILENT SNIPER EBAY BIDDER REVIEW TV#
Not bid through eBay itself (like a silent bidder, or telephone bid in auction houses), no-one saw my interest in the TV (which was a rather nice Sony) and therefore no bidding wars were started and therefore the item went to me at the lowest price possible.
#SILENT SNIPER EBAY BIDDER REVIEW PORTABLE#
Later on (with a bit more courage from my earlier success) I tried the eBay tool on a small portable TV for my bedroom - I won that auction too, and because the item was sniped ie. Darth Vader was mine and I'd found a new way to win on eBay! I was no longer an ordinary bidder, I was an Auction Sniper! The thrill was that I had won - without doing anything - or so it felt. What probably hooked me to sniping is that in the last minute of auction around 4 other people made bids on the same item, my item, and one of the bids was the same price as mine. You probably guessed by now (and by the title of this article), that I won - of course. I didn't need to - there was a whole 10 minutes to go, but as it slowly dawned on me that I didn't actually have to be at the computer to actually make the bid happen anymore, I went to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of coffee and then came back to watch the final moments of auction. The message came up told me that the bid had been placed on my behalf. I checked all my info I'd inputted a few extra times, and then clicked 'place bid'. It was a small plastic Darth Vader toy - I put down £3.00 as my maximum bid as I didn't want to risk the program getting my bid wrong, okay, I'll admit that I was a bit nervous but this wasn't how I was used to doing things! I trawled through the pages of the auction pages that had 10 minutes to go on eBay, and found a low cost item.

I signed up for a free trial with an online sniping company and set out to test it for myself.
So, I certainly couldn't beat the snipers so I might as well join them.
#SILENT SNIPER EBAY BIDDER REVIEW MANUAL#
In almost 100% of cases the process beats manual registrations of bids - basically you can't beat a sniper - the person using sniping software to make a bid will always win against the bidder not using it as long as he is bidding the same or a slight increment over their amount, often winning by only a few pence more. I'd been sniped! I felt a bit peeved, but did some research and found out that not only was it a totally legal method of bidding, it was also an online equivalent of a very normal practice in the auction houses - silent bidding, often made via telephone. I talked about my success/failure rate in auctions with my brother, who runs his own web design agency - he mentioned that earlier in the month he'd discovered and tried a new way of bidding and winning ebay auctions, it was called 'sniping' It got very frustrating, but I just shrugged it off and decided that it was just down to luck, and that I'd run out of mine on that occasion.
I'd put in a good price at the right time but would lose by the smallest of increments. I was pretty successful but there were always a confusing number of auction losses, when I know I really should have won an item. I considered myself a fairly seasoned buyer, adept at meandering around eBay, finding bargains and waiting avidly until the last second of auction to try and win them. I'd been an eBay user for years without knowing anything about the art of sniping.
