i used to use another sniping website but i forget what it was called. it was free, but you could only execute I think it was 5 snipes a week or something like that.

Sniping has nothing to do with price - of course you only pay what you're willing to pay - the entire point is timing. Like I said before, putting in your highest offer any more than 8 or 10 seconds before the end of the auction is just asking for someone to outbid you by 25 cents.

I dont even use any programs to snipe anymore because in most cases, I get an alert when something I'm watching is going to be over in 15 minutes on my iphone and then I use it to place the bid myself with 8 or so seconds left - much to my wife's dismay.

with that said I've been bidding on a lot of stuff internationally lately that ends at 4am or so, so I've been looking for a good free sniping program or better yet, a sniping iphone app.
