Let's be realistic: if you were outbid it simply means that your maximum bid wasn't high enough and that someone else was willing to pay more than you. If you enter the absolute maximum you are willing to pay and are outbid, why be angry? That's just how the system works. If you were outbid at an earlier moment, would you really have bid more?
I couldnt agree more.I always use Auction Sniper if its something I really want. All I have to do is enter the amount I am prepared to pay and it bids with 3 seconds (or whatever I state) to go.
I see nothing immoral about it, its simply smarter bidding. You are not running up the price of the item by placing bids through out the auction, nor are you running the risk of engaging in a personal bidding war with someone.
At the end of the day, you have your limit and if your limit isnt high enough you lose. Its the same for everyone.
Greg Collins, if you are doing it manually with 30 seconds to go you will be losing a lot of auctions.
