oh wow, you guys PAY for your snipes??

how much?

esniper is free. (as in beer)

I've known all along that Sniping was the answer....that wasn't really the question though. Question was, are there any alert programs out there besides what Ebay gives you right out of the box? I really wasn't looking to re-hash, for the billionth time, the whole auction sniper thing...sorry!
