They're good to use if you want to snipe at the last bit of time and don't want to be hanging around the computer.

I haven't looked into pricing. Are some of these free or do you have to pay a charge?
I know with auction sniper it is freemium. By that I mean for a subscription you can snipe with in fewer sec before it ends.

I jsut place a small bid and see if anyone tries to take my item in the last minute. Then I ramp up to the max I'll pay at the last few seconds. If I get repeatedly outbid, I will bid them up to their max amount and leave it.

rough. With such a pricey auction 10 bucks is a drop in the bucket. That is an incredible lot of saturn games. With a few exceptions it pretty much as everything you could ever want to play

Yeah...I figured up that I would be able to make my money back easy and then put a few bucks in my pocket...but, didnt turn out that way. Ah well, maybe next time

I do this... but most of the time I am not able to be on ebay when the auction ends.
I put my max in at the last time I can before the auction ends which is usually a couple hours early... and I almost never win.
