Gixen Mirror Features:

All the Gixen main service features, plus:
Gixen Mirror is a multi-server, fault-tolerant sniping service, unmatched by any other sniping service or sniping software. Your snipes are sent twice, from two different hosting locations.
No ads in the logged-in area.
Contingency group bidding - first failed bid cancels all the others in a group.
New! Multi-win group bidding - define how many items you want to win in a group.
Wider choice of snipe time choices (3,6,8,10,12 and 15 seconds).
Auction end times refreshed hourly, as opposed to daily.
Other small perks provided to Mirror users only, such as CSV export / import.
100% reliable (*). No other sniping service provides this.
Cost of Gixen Mirror is a bargain at $6 a year.

On a side note, I always set my snipes to 4 seconds, and never had an issue. Have any of you ever had the balls to go under 4 seconds, and if so, what is your success rate?

I've done it manually. I don't use sniping software, but probably should at some point. I've done a couple in the 2-4 second range, but don't really feel comfortable trying it every time. For me anything under 10 seconds is fine.

It's good cause sometimes I get busy, and I don't have to be married to my computer.

For those curious, my first Gixen snipe was a success!
