VBC low-tech snipe service.

Posted By: <b>Steve f</b><p> I'm toying with the idea of manually entering snipe requests on live vBay auctions. You place your bid, time and amount, go about your hectic, daily life and let me do all the work via proxy... I reply to the thread, you win the auction send me a reward. Sounds simple ehh? Heck, I sit around here all day doing nothin' anywaze... Now to name it.

Posted By: <b>Jay</b><p>How would you enter a bid with say 5 seconds left. Would you use another snipe service, or do you have a super high speed connection?<br />Thanks,<br />Jay Kaplan

Posted By: <b>Rob Dewolf</b><p>I've always been pleased with www.vrane.com. Have used it for 6+ years. The nice thing is you can do snipes for free (but only one item at a time). If you're ever in need of entering more than one item at a time -- say if the same seller has numerous items you're interested in ending within minutes of each other -- you can pay for a weeklong pass. I also think you can "but snipes" in other packages. The site isn't much to look at, but I've always felt confident with both its security and execution. Hope this helps.
