Seems like it would be a better service by AS.

Hiya there puretoby3,
Do you mean "your item" as in, an item you are bidding on? or an item you are selling?
One of the main reasons to *snipe* is to ensure that you dont show your *hand* in the bidding wars.
Even if you do know another sniper is sniping...what difference would it make? The key to sniping is to bid your Maximum and leave it at that.
I am also tipping there would be privacy issues if AS was leaking to other AS members who was bidding on what
I am curious though....Why do you think it would improve the service?

I have though about this often .......
Let us say for example I create a snipe in AS for an Ebay item and another AS user already has a higher snipe created for that item.
Then AS flags my snipe list with a message (a bit like the one that occurs when the current bid exceeds my snipe) saying "Another AS member has a higher snipe on this item".
Whether it flags to the other member that AS now has a second lower snipe on its books is a secondary issue.
So I revise my snipe and raise it. And the other sniper gets and alert - "AS is now carrying a higher snipe on items 1234567890".
And he/she revises his/her snipe.
Sound familiar ?
And I go into business with AuctionSniperSniper.
My super service will place your snipe in AS for you as close to the AS 5 minute deadline as I can to prevent another sniper placing a higher snipe on the same item. All for only .25 or 1% of the snipe value.
Let the good times roll $ $ $ $ .
