I had to bid on a couple before I was able to win one. It may be a few days more after that before I can get Linux on it. I hope to have it by the weekend, but it'll probably be next week. It was about $1345 on eBay (+shipping/tax). However, sniping is the way to go, if you've got the time and resource to be there at the end of your auction.The DVD/60GB/Atheros/Bluetooth version. I do walk away from several auctions with early high bids EVEN if they are lower than what i'm consider paying. Ebay is still thought of as a haven for bargains, so most people want something which used to be expensive for next to nothing (who doesn't?). However, bidding early can act as a deterrent to all but the most serious potential bidders.
#SNIPE TIME JBIDWATCHER SOFTWARE#
If feel that there are too many users of sniping software for a bidder to simply set their maximum bid early and walk away. However, I think sniping is a necessary evil. Whilst, it may be possible for someone to emphrically prove that sniping doesn't tend towards getting bargains and winning, I do not possess such statistics (nor do I have any inclination to obtain them). I makes the whole ebay process more exciting and I have got some real bargains for items. But I would say that my win rate is in the high 80%. I've not always done well (has anyone ever had the situation where your computer or network slows just at the crucial moment? Or, of the course being "outsnipped"?). I've known about sniping software for years. While Doc may be correct that bidding early shows interest in an item, increased demand for it, and thereby raises the odds of getting sniped, and intuitively it seems correct, is there any empirical evidence that supports this? Actually, if this is correct, it raises the chance of bids higher than your own regardless of when they come in - long before an auction closes and within in the ten seconds pre-auction end sniping window.Ĭlick to expand.+1. Subject to my remarks below, I agree and do the same.

Even if he is not right, I think I'll stick to manual sniping when I can, just bceause it delivers a casino like thrill when clicking the "Submit Bid" button in the penultimate second before the auction closes. The result is that I've ambushed many a sniper who submitted their sniping bid within the snipin window only to find that they did not bid enough.īut of couse if Doc is right, had I waited to snipe myself, I may have attracted fewer bidders to the item and won with a larger spread between the sale price and my maximum bid. If I lost, it did not matter becuase I was never going to pay more that my maximum bid anyway and someone out there wanted it more, and was this willing to pay more for it, than me. As stated above, if I won the auction, I got the item for what I was willing to pay for it. On many an item I've won, I bid the true maximum of what I was willing to pay. I guess that is why I have not yet signed up for. The highest bid is going to win regardless of whether the bidder hits the "Submit Bid" button three days or three seconds before the auction ends.
So when I snipe it's becuase it's a more entertaining way of purchasing.
