When I posted it I honestly had no idea what it probably was, didn't mean to rain on your parade, :sad:. I'd be interested to hear what sniping software you find, I've never used any that works, I either snipe manually or don't do it.
I thought I was going to win it, there was zero bidding on it till there was 7 seconds left, where I put in my safety bid at $31, I originally only put $21 in which I figured would easily be outbid. It was at $10 till 7 seconds when someone else bid, which I caught with my safety bid, and then someone else bid over me who knows, they coulda put in $1000 dollars with sniping software to trigger at 1 second.
Mac's have ebay snipping built in to osx I believe. But there are online services you can sign up for as well.
I don't usually compete for high profile auction items anymore, since they're usually more than I can afford, and the only way I can win them is to put in super high amounts.
