I have heard that there are Ebay sniper services out there. Has anyone used any of these services. What companys have you tried ! I have heard that they work quite well. I would like to try one of these services out but don't know which ones are legitimate. I dont want to give all of my ebay info to some scammer. Let me know!!

I haven't heard of SNIPER services, but I have heard of SNIPER programs that you can get and setup!
The fellow in this bidding war could have used one! Take at look at this item!
IT's just a set of STOCK OEM coils for a 78E, allegedly from a bike with only 3700 miles, starting price was around $25.00.....it's now .....are you ready for this?
$152.00 ! !
Even if they were wanting to do a TRUE RESTORE.....it's not a '32Ford, he'll never see this kind of money he's putting into it??
The other shame is this person who's selling it looks like they cannabalized a great looking 78E, especially if it had only 3700 miles!?

I use eSnipe.com (link at bottom), I have used it for 3 years or so. Highly recommended! Cheap...easy....works!!! Bids in the last 6 seconds of any auction (you can adjust that time but much less and you run the risk of not getting a connection to the item.
Here is the deal with Sniper services...you have to bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay! Don't pussyfoot around. If you have a price you will pay and not feel bad if it goes to somebody else, then eSnipe is for you. Ebay takes the bid like any other and you only pay the amount that you need to to win the bid....no different then bidding yourself at the last 6 seconds. except I don't have to watch the auction or be home or anything.
Don't bid or show any interest in item before last 6 seconds since it only drives the price up.

eSnipe only charges a penny on the dollar for winning bids only...I spent $10 and used them for 2 years, my next $10 won't last that long....people at work ask me to snipe stuff for them on occassion. $8 a month is only worth it if you do a lot of eBay buying.Gary Granger
