As per the zencat submission...

And the final bid was at the exact time of the bid end time. Pretty impressive. I thought bid sniping software usually made the bid with seven or eight seconds to spare.

There's bid sniping software?

I prefer to do it the old fashioned way.

Yeah, same here.

At the end of the day, if you're awake at the time of the end of the auction, you can manually place your bid towards the end, and if you put the absolute highest price in as your final bid, you'll know you're paying the highest you're prepared to pay plus it shouldn't be artifically raised by shills.

That said, I have had a few surprises by a guy who comes in at the end with seven seconds to spare with a killer figure. He's brutal. Still, if that is the way the game is to be played, then so be it.

IMHO that's the ONLY way to play the game!

Do you use sniping s/w? If so, do you recommend any one in particular?

Have you d/loaded an app, or just set up an account with a web based option?

[Qwerty]

Almost got one myself just a little while ago.

It's always those bidders that come in at the last minute.
