Reply to "I used A.S. and lost anyway!"

The simple answer is: Decide what your max mid is, and then bid that. If the bid you placed thru AS was not the maximum you were willing to pay, then you do run the risk of losing to a proxy bid.

If you set your snipe for the maximum you're willing to pay, and you still lose, then you at least know the item sold for more than you were willing to pay.

Since I've been using AS, I've saved a lot of money, because I've able to avoid the 'bidding wars'. Other bidders don't know I'm interested in an item until it's too late for them to raise their bids.

Just remember to set your snipe for your maximum and have fun!
