troymess Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I actually just tried this the other night. I set the alarm for ten minutes early and ended up falling asleep again while waiting...my advice, set up the coffee machine next to your computer.

patron Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I always just bid, set my max and find out if I won in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I always just bid, set my max and find out if I won in the morning. Me too, there is rarely something I want bad enough that I believe I have to wake up in the middle of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambomb Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 i've done this a couple of times.. though it sucks when you end up losing!now if i really really want something, i just snipe it exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm going to help you guys out in a huge way... I haven't bid on anything myself (unless it's a Buy It Now) since I found this : auctionsniper.com You just add shit to your Watch list and then you import them into Auction Sniper, put your max price in, and it will bid at the last few seconds for you. You do nothing else. The best shit ever. You get a bunch of free snipes, and you pay like 25 cents for them after that. I think I've paid $5 in the past two years for more snipes. As a thanks you can put my email address ([email protected]) as the referral so I can get more free snipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlovecolouredx Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 i never did it before and won't do it. sometimes,i think a budget which i can pay didn't enough for snip it and it waste my sleeping time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinyljunkie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 why not just bid when you see the auctions? i dont understand people who do this sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedstah Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I normally watch stuff. Then wait to bid. I've checked into that auctionsniper thing, and didn't bother with it. I mean, if i really want something I'll bid on it. I'm pretty good at setting a limit I want to bid, and sticking to it. I do more ebay surfing then ebay buying though.

jhamm212 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've set an alarm to register for classes then go back to sleep. Never for an ebay auction though. I guess if it really came down to it, I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
