It is a fantastic service!!!  I like it because I don't get caught up in the auction frenzy.  When I use it I think long and hard about the maximum amount I am willing to pay for an item and put that in as my snipe (not what I would like to get it for but what I am willing to pay).  I put in that info and Auction sniper does the rest.  By putting my bid in several seconds before the auction ends, there is no bidding war.  Most of the time I win and get the item for far less than my max.  Occasionally I don't win but thats ok I would have had to pay more then I wanted to.  When it is all said and done, on the things I do win, I never feel like I over paid.  IMHO auction sniper is the only way to bid.

Much better than sitting in front of the computer for the last few minutes of an auction & trying to plan your life around being there at the right time. Whenever I do that I always carefully consider what I'm willing to pay and take my chances but it sounds like AS saves your max bid for the very end of the auction instead of incrementing every time someone else ups the ante so it takes care of the hassle (and the frenzy). I'll have to try it out next time I'm looking for something. I'll use your referral link to get signed up before then though. Thanks for the tip!
