Ubid extends their auctions. It's even more frustrating than loosing to a sniper because auctions never seem to end (I think they add 15 mins if you bid towards the end ... then another 15 mins if someone else bids near the new end, ...)! AND they don't have a proxy bid ... if you bid high, that's what you'll pay if you win! Made that mistake the first time I used them. Plus, their shipping is outrageous - but sometimes they have items so cheap it's worth it (usually refurbs).
Oh, I was referring to Isnipeit's homepage still offering the program for sale
Yet another item finds its way to abandonware!
