As a buyer, snipe software allowes me to manage my bidding in greater volume. For instance I wanted to buy a particular car for my personal use. I had bid on about 35 cars unsucessfully, mainly because I had intentionally bid far below wholesale hoping to snag a deal. Finally I snagged one at the exact price I wanted to pay, over $8000 below wholesale. My snipe program immediately shut down six other auctions to eliminate a dupe car purchase. I typically have 50>250 auctions I'm bidding on and there is no way I could stay on top of that sort of action. Upping my bid or pulling out or any alt I might want to make. Since I sell everything I buy from eBay on eBay, I hold for a few months, and relist the product for 50>100% more than I paid for it. If a sniper gets it, that is more than fine with me. May the fastest bidder win. Long live eBay, long live snipping action Byron I love snipers, I personally use one of the more popular sniping software programs.

It is easy to defeat snipe programs. As a seller, in your listing you tell shoppers that you will be ending the auction early... at some random time in the last 5 minutes. High bidder still wins the auction and snipers are out looking for some other target, and everyone is happy.
