Yes. I can also make a list of items, each with its own price I'm willing to pay, and a quantity I need, and the snipe program will work through the list and bid on the items until I've won the number of items specified. E.g. if I'm looking for a saddle, and I find three listings I'm interested in bidding on, I create a simple file with the item numbers and prices I'm willing to pay, and feed it to my snipe program:

quantity=1
251243445560 15.99
160986626444 21.50
111026073739 25.50

The program works through the list, submits my bids as the auctions get close to ending, and exits once I've won one of the saddles.
