Me too, but I resisted. But 5 people were and won by a "professional" using bidding software. |

125 forum posts 29 photos | I use the last 5 second method on most things I really want, I decide how much I want to bid and if I win great, if I lose it then it was too expensive, never get into a bidding war early on.

I generally wait till 3 seconds very rarely lose because of hardware/connection problems If I'm otherwise occupied, I use a sniping tool. Normally, like you, I just do it manually from a real PC. I've rarely missed through connection errors, but have missed several times as I've not heard the alarm on my phone as I've left it on silent. |

![]() 857 forum posts 45 photos | 40 Kilo! Glad I didn't bid on them! Mrs Jimmyb is fond of reminding me of the time I bought a joblot of air filters for weird cars. I got about 150 for £5. Took years to get rid of them.....
