Whenever I am bidding on a rare or high ticket item on ebay I always use esnipe to place my bid in the last 3 seconds of the auction:http://www.esnipe.com/

It works quite well.

If it comes to the ears of eBay now that you have publicly confessed it, it could get you an ex-membership. And it still profits you nothing if you don't bid high enough.

... Then the high you get afterwards if you win and all the fun of reading the nasty messages you get almost immediately from those who got sniped while the feeling of power is still coursing through you. You miss too much when you use sniping tools.

Have you been messaged by such people? There must be some miserable as well as ineffectual people around.
