Whaz up guys?!

Need some help from Ebayers!

I really need to get something and I am predicting there could be a bid-fight for it.


I never used "snipers" before but I am willing to.

now the question is not even if they work (i read before people saying they are the bomb) but instead, if I could have two snipe webpages aiming at the same item. what will happen? Is that even better than one sniper or i could haven problems like both codes trying to log on on ebay at the same time and this thing firing back right at my eye?


Anyone ever thought or done this? Having two snipers shooting for the same item?

This is what I did:

http://www.auctionsniper.com set for $500

http://www.bidnapper.com/ set for $510


I still have 5 days to change this... so if u have any inputs i'd appreciate it!

Well, you won't pay more than $510 for it, that's for sure.

But if someone else has one that's set for higher than your $500/$510 AND is quick enough to beat out your two services, then you could lose it.

...you do have the odds in your favor with 2, but I bet there's people with a bunch if they really want the item.

i guess you all busy discussing weed and Jesus?!

Try just entering the max your willing to pay...

Using those 3rd party sites is just like placing a bid yourself. Therefore Ebay's bidding rules would apply.

What are you trying to accomplish with the 2 snipers? If you just set one to go the max you're willing to bid, then you're all set. All this will do is bid once for you at $500, and then again for you at $510.

Why not just set one for $510?

The problem with having 2 sniper services bidding for the same object is that they will both put in your bid and will both see that you won so you will have to pay both sniping services because they both put in your bid and you won the item. They do not know if you already had a bid in or not. If this is something you really want and are willing to pay both services for I see no problems with using both services but I have had good luck with the one in your first link.
