Is Gavel Snipe down?

[sports-rings]

yes it's down and even more disturbing, isitdown.com is reporting that it has been down for a week!

I love that site and it keeps much better history now than ebay does. Hope it is not gone forever!

It hasn't been down for a week. I have been using it every day. I guess I haven't gone on there in the last half a day to a day, so my guess is that is when it went down.....(as stated above)

*My last win from there was on 3/5/2017 but I am almost sure I checked it after that.....

I've had mostly good experiences so far with gixen, but if it ever comes back up, I'll have to check this one out.

Any other free sniping service recommendations ?

[Mighty Casey]

Yes...any information regarding Gavelsnipe or any other free sniping services would be greatly appreciated. Big bummer!

Hmmm...still down. I noticed it down last night around 9PM CDT, but it was definitely up earlier in the day because I set a snipe. I currently have 3 or 4 snipes set, I hope they go off.

I just checked my email and they sent an update email at 5:01 AM showing my current snipes. Maybe the site is inaccessible, but still working?

I'm pretty sure they posted a note at the top of the page a few days ago saying they were taking the site down for a day for maintenance and you would not be able to enter new snipes but that all snipes already in the cue would be executed.

Not sure if the site has been up since then ...

Cheers,

Guess not everything I read on the internet is true,

glad it's nothing major and is still working and will be up after maintenance.

I can't access their site either but, I had set some snipes a while ago and noticed when checking Ebay that at least one of them was executed as I ended up winning an item a little earlier today. So they are still placing bids that were already in their queue before the maintenance shutdown.

Still down 24 hours later...wonder what is taking so long? So what if you wanted to cancel your snipe? Out of luck, eh?
