Which auction sniper?

I want to bid on something on Ebay using an auction sniper. I've never used one before, are any of them better than others? Are most easy to use? Which one would you recommend?

Thanks :beer:

    Oh didn't realise you had to pay for some. Is there a difference between the ones you have to pay for and the freebies?

    I would go with Goofbay as well it is pretty reliable and as an added bonus it is free.

    In all honesty, I have no idea! It was the first I found and easy to use so I stuck with it. I've never paid for a snipe though (don't use it that often and I had enough freebies).

    May have to check out the goofbay one now!

    use goofbay - make sure you use a reputable one though as you might have to give them your ebay account details..

    I've been using auctionsniper for years, I think it's 25 cents a snipe, but worth it if you get what you want
