Oh, I am sure you will, it's a good service. Not counting "buy it now" auctions, I have only placed one or two manual bids in the past three or four years. I sometimes will watch one of the auctions that I am sniping wind down. There still is the thrill of watching AS fire its torpedo and see the other bidders get blown out of the water. Anyway, welcome and happy sniping.

Welcome! Isn't it grand?

Congratulations.
Now is time to step up to the BID GROUPS.
As for the rush, it is still there. Remember, you can still lose if someone has a bid higher than your max...

AS far as bidgroups I've been studying how they work..I"d like to get some boxed sets of Star Trek NG DVD's for hubby for xmas and those always seem to have bidding wars on them (especially the legitimate ones).

That's what amazed me lurking in here for a week or so, was the number of people who were complaining that AS hadn't worked for them because they hadn't bid enough ??? It wouldn't make any difference if they had placed the proxy bid with eBay themselves in those cases and obviously if they were upset they didn't win then they didn't snipe at their max

Lost 2 of my 5 items I was trying to snipe in the past 3 days....I was ok with that ...they paid too much (IMHO).

That is was is so neat, AS helps to prevent you from over paying for something. Those bid groups are the greatest for that sort of thing. Just keep tossing the gizmos into the folder until you win one at your price.
