Hi. Was happy to see the site is up finally, but it seems to be broken, and no idea if my snipes will be placed or not.
Update Prices on My Snipes page results in the system hanging forever.
Anyone else seeing this same problem.

When the page does finally come back, I get this error
http://www.auctionsniper.com/Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/MySnipes.aspx
Server Error in '/' Application.

I just lost a snipe today, I assume, because the site was down. It was a VERY rare book I really needed to complete my collection. Talk about being sucker punched. I would not count on your snipes being placed. 
I just tried to get to "my snipes" and got their routine maintenance notice (which I think is done on Tuesdays?) so they are having major problems.
Thanks Auction Sniper for ruining my day!

Well, the site is still not working. My snipe is "ready" on an auction that ended over 3 hours ago.
- the users on this forum always recommend that you don't use AS for 'must haves' as it is fallible.quote:Originally posted by JLR:

Maybe but how about if it stays down because everybody pulls their money of of your business?
Can it get better then?
Wrong pronoun - the "your" should be "their". My your is not part of AS' their.quote:Originally posted by Nonoy5:

Sorry I can't read your response. The site is down.

Are there really any items "that are must haves" on ebay? They don't sell life saving drugs last I checked. We all WANT the items we are bidding on, which is where we get lulled to sleep. Most of us rely and trust the system as we don't have chunks of time to sit and wait for an item to end. (I really couldn't tell you when any of my best items end.) Auction Sniper is really the "must have" for this reason...until it fails. Leaving most of us wishing we did have chunks of time to wait for an item to end.
pedant - you know what I mean!
I also lost an eBay opportunity today for a rare item. After reading about this, I've placed backup snipes on another site. I hope these guys get it together soon.
