The best part of manual sniping is when you place a bid and the ebay tells you you need to log in...
Ha yea.
Or,
- manual sniping, getting the "you have been outbid" 2 seconds from the end (with someones max bid no doubt being 2 times as much as the item is worth, just because they can) then frantically trying to insert a massively inflated, well over budget bid that will never get through in time anyway.
Or,
- auto sniping. Logging into your email to find out that the bloody thing could not log into your ebay account properly and the item of course selling well below price.
Fuckers. I aint won no ebay bike bits in the last couple of months. I'm starting to feel like this addiction is wasting a lot of time...cheap though.

-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.

RE: The small green bob jackson frameset!
I knew you lot would pick up on this, why can't you just keep ya noses out eh! ;p
One of the nicest green paintjobs have seen for a while, was going to try get this for a build for my girl.... not for cheap I am sure. Is there such a thing as an ebay bargain!?

By any chance was this the Romany that slimboy fat was it, who had a massive clear out a month a go or so...that he kindly sold for £150?
I was interested in this bike, obviously from the original guy at the bargain price. I'm still interested, though to be honest I get pretty annoyed when people take advantage of bargain prices with the sole intention of making a profit. Someone could have had the bike, who actually wanted it to ride, like me.
Rant over. I am probably mistaken, it probably is not the same bike. Looks the same though. I guess I am just bitter that I never got it for £150 myself.
