Has anyone come up with a number to use when sniping?. Is it better to snipe/bid odd numbers.
i.e. $12.07, $10.29, $5.07 etc. Is there any advantage to doing it this way by adding odd cents to the snipe?.
Many thanks

...is the quick answer!
A lot of bidders bid even amounts. Often you will be able to win an auction by the few cents you add to an even bid!
This is a valid strategy whether you bid manually on eBay or if you snipe using Auction Sniper.

Jabber is spot on!!
I have often kicked myself for not putting in an odd number, in those cases I would of won an item for a bid increment less.

Eek! Don't use .07, .27, 57, or .77. Those are mine 
Thanks for the heads up, Sara!
Sooooo....if I use the oddball amounts .08, .28, .58, & .78; and we both end up bidding on the same thing, I'll win by a measly
ol' penny!
Victory is never so sweet as when it is by so little!
(Hmmm...Sara SAID she uses .07, but that's probably because she REALLY uses .09. So that means >I< should use .10 or .11 additional. Or maybe .13,...no..wait! That might be unlucky!
What to do? What to do?)
Paranoia, the ebay bidder's CONSTANT, if not BEST, friend!
Just because you don't think everybody is out to get you, doesn't mean they're not! 
LOL!

I think you should add an even dollar. No one else does that !
