I am going to have to go back to placing manual bids for auctions that are important to me, and only use AuctionSnipe for auctions where I am not near a computer. Sad about this but it's utterly horrible watching my bid go in so early then seeing other people successfully snipe at six seconds before end. AuctionSnipe's motto emphasizes "at the last moment," but now even my 90-year-old grandmother can manually outbid AuctionSnipe.

I totally understand the rational behind your manual sniping and using AS. Many will tell you that if AS couldnt get the snipe in at 6 seconds, then you wont be able to. I am guessing that you have enough experience to know whether you can or cant.

I use a similar practice myself. I will manual bid on things I *reaaallly* want, but I still AS for convenience

Good Luck

PS.. My 90yr old Grandma couldnt even turn a computer on, but I am sure if I told her when and how to push the *place bid* button - she'd give it a fair crack
