Sniper?

consultant31

Can anyone recommend a sniper tool please? I have always used Goofbay (now Goofbid) but recently it has been dropping my bids and I've been missing auctions when I'm not at home...annoying!!

I've Googled and found a couple but would like personal recommendations if possible

Would like to add that I don't want one I have to pay for

I use Auctionsniper. First three bids are free but after that you have to pay for them

Gixen gets my vote.

They bid your price at the last second. Normally you can get items lower than if you had entered in to a long bidding war. I do it manually but sometimes forget and miss out.

justsnipe.com is another

been using it for over a decade & never had my login details compromised

I've never had a problem with Goofbid but I do have friends who have.

Are you sure that all of them are kind of the same and the reliability depends on your connection?

Been using gixen for years and its never let me down and is free.

I use Justsnipe too. I think you get 5 free bids a week but can upgrade to a paid version. Used it for donkeys years :T

I think it could be your connection. Can you adjust the time it places the bid? You could try making it bid a second or two earlier to be more reliable.
