Gotta agree on the snipe service. Years ago before the higher speed Internet was available I sometimes had a slow machine that would not process my bid in time or at all. This prompted me to sign up for just snipe, although others have their favorites too. I rarely use it-- only when I'm not going to make it to a computer before the auction ends, there are two or more cards I want firing off at the same time, or it is an item I just can't wait to come around again.
I have used it even when I'm home to place my manual snipe--kind of as a failsafe. You get a certain (small) number of snipes per month for free, so it's handy for me.
Sorry you missed out.
