Seeing as there is all too much negativity in this thread, here comes the balance...
After losing a few and hearing about your software, then winning on my first snipe I was amazed.
And I continue to be amazed, I don't know how much money AS has saved me but it has far outweighed the subscriptions.
Having been sniping for a little while, I've only just discovered the forums.
I can usually see where my snipes have failed ($0.49 or late bids), this time I discovered the difference of real and perceived time lag.
I should have read the fine print before getting carried away in a snipe session, but it costs nothing if I lose, just a little emotion, which should not be in an auction anyway.
Ultimately, when I consider what AS can do, I'm pretty happy.
Cheers n beers.
