Off topic : Oh sh!t

I have been high bidder on items before on ebay that I forgot I even bid on. With the snipe programs I've put in bids before thinking I'll go back later and decide if I really want the item. Then I forget and suddenly get an email telling me I've "won".

I'm not sure what sniping program you use, but mine allows me to enter a "placeholder" bid on an item -- either a $0.00 bid or anything under the current price. This lets me see the item on my list without committing me to it. I can always go back later and edit the bid. If I forget, then I don't have to worry -- unless, of course, someone cancels a bid and then my lower bid prevails. I guess that would be a good reason to just enter a $0.00 bid anytime I'm not sure about an item.
