What is the programme you can use to put in a last minute bid on E Bay. Someone beat me by 2p last night and it really bleep me off so I thought two can play that game, well could if I knew how.

In fairness mate...the winning bidder might have beat you by £100, it just that the bid increment shown will only be the next bid up from your maximum bid.

I use auctionstealer.com which is good...has a free snipe service (3 a week) or you can subscribe and get a better snipe and group sniping (where you can select say 10 sets of wheels, and set a maximum for each, and it will bid on them as they finish until you win a set and then it will cancel the others, so you dont end up with half dozen sets of wheels)
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Auction tamer, unlimited sniping if you know how to set it up, but you do need to leave the computer on. As perviously mentioned, no g'tee to win every time as the previous bidder may have already bid higher, but very good for that 0.5 sec to go to end of auction surprise bid and to place a bid while your away from the PC and you don't want people to know that you are interested in the item.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
