-Yes, auto sniping is boring.
-Max bid early on just gets chipped away as said.
-All the excitement is had sitting infront of that countdown timer when it turns red, palms sweaty, heart pounding...well it used to have that effect when ebay was new. I tend to manually snipe within 10s of the end. That way you have your max bid, get it in last and hope for the best. it normally works well, but not with bike stuff for some reason. I can't seem to get a bargain at all. All my ebay bidding has ended in FF*S** recently, it seems people will pay anything over the odds for bike stuff...well at least the stuff I want anyway. Boohoo.
