I love it!

Hello everyone,

I just won my first (in my opinion) high-profile auction last night by having Auction Sniper bid for me. I love it! Also, thanks to all the great people on this forum who so freely share their advice - I learned a great deal from the previous posts. Most importantly, I have come around to reconsiderung my own bidding behavior (i.e., getting tied up in bidding wars and such). Figuratively speaking, I expect Auction Sniper will aid me in "leaving emotion at the door" when entering an auction. Thanks to you all!

Regards,

streak

Hi Streak and Congrat's!!!

You've just found another reason that many people use AS, the "Emotion Factor." Sometimes the "widget" isn't as shiny as it first appeared, or you found it cheaper somewhere else, or (insert reason for adjustment or reconsideration here).

Using AS gives you the chance to go back and either lower your max amount you'll bid for an item, or delete the snipe altogether. You have time to research the item in question and make a more informed decision.

I wish I had a nickle for every snipe I changed my mind about, LOL.

Congrat's again!

Hi folks,

thanks for all your kind comments! I have been repeating Puppy Raiser's much-quoted mantra all day - that you should not allow SOMEONE ELSE to influence what you think an item is worth to YOU. Tomorrow, it'll be Mrs. M.'s suggestion to rest assured that, if outbid, someone else paid too much... Seriously, I consider these some valid guidelines for my bidding behavior.

I am going to start a new topic in just a minute; since I'm pretty much a rookie with regard to eBay, I'd appreciate your advice on it. Thanks in advance!

Regards,

streak
