Sniping software advice

[dclarkraiders]

Good morning.

I use GavelSnipe.

I find it very user friendly.

Happy collecting.

I'm a fan of Gixen. The mirror service is really cheap.

I just looked at Gixen. It has some nice features and I do like the mirror site, especially for the price. I may give it a try.

Gixen is good and free but you have to wait 20 seconds before it will let you log in kind of annoying

Even on the $6 per year version it has a log in delay?? That would be annoying. Like someone else said, I am sorta intrigued by the "mirror" aspect, especially if it is something you want really bad.

From their FAQs:

When I log in, I see a countdown timer before I am able to log in. Why do you annoy me?

While a free site, Gixen still depends on Mirror subscriptions in order to continue functioning. Pricing of Gixen Mirror subscription has deliberately been set low to be a bargain with everything that it offers: increased reliability and additional features. Countdown timer is a slight annoyance that allows us to fight advertisement and plea blindness. It raises our revenue. If you subscribe, you will no longer see it and you will help Gixen back. If you don't, please understand why this is needed.

Can someone explain what mirror refers to?

--- Bidnapper for many years. As to your question about idle accounts....Bidnapper has worked fine even after 11 months of not being used.

GavelSnipe sucks! The last 10 or so snipes I put in weren't enough to win the bid.
Actually, I love GavelSnipe as well... when I actually bid high enough.

It appears as though Glixen or Gaven Snipe will be where we go to instead of bidnip (which after further review appears to be defunct even though the website is still up)......can we use both maybe??

[gregr2]

I've been using Gavel Snipe for years as well.

Gavelsnipe for me as well.

Always works and free, can't beat that.

Another Gavelsnipe user here. Just used it to win a card earlier today.

It has had a handful of glitches in the past but 99% of my bids have gone through without a hitch and I can't tell you the last time I had a problem with one not taking. Easy, free, and painless.

Make sure you bid against yourself for maximum value... for the seller.

You are right Bob...I thought about that after I said it.....maybe that is a terrible idea.
