AnonymousI esnipe everything on eBay.
Basically every other night, I will sit down for an hour and copy down eBay id numbers of items that I'm interested in. I will then write down my max bid on a sheet of paper and go one by one on esnipe typing in numbers and max bids. The max bids depend on how badly I want it.
If it's a Bobby Wallace PSA5 with a typical back, I may type in an amount of $200. If I win it, good, if I don't, I'm sure Bobby will show up again in that grade soon enough.
If it's a Jake Stahl PSA5 with a Red Hindu back, I may go overboard.
A long time ago I went overboard on a T206 (I think it was a high grade Dolly Stark) and eBay kept telling me that I was outbid and this was angering me. I kept pounding numbers and finally I won the piece after five tries but paid way too much for it. An esnipe program would have saved me in this instance.
