I use powersnipe for all my ebay bids. It is set and forget. It automatically puts a bid in the dying seconds and takes away all the emotion from bidding.

Also good for international bids that end at 3am.

I also sit back and giggle thinking of the other punters out there going "WTF" when my bid hits with 1 second to spare. It can go against you though. I once bidded on an item which was going for about $2000 less than what it was worth. Set up the snipe...watched the final seconds, then WTF? Some punter got it for $800, and my max bid was set at $1200? Later investigation showed my missus used my ebay account but could not remember the password so did a password reset and didnt let powersnipe (or me) know the change of details...when they snipe tried to go bid, password did not accept...

Another story, my mate is a ebay ignoramus and wanted me to bid for a left handed golf club titleist vokey wedge for him...reasonably rare item. So I found one, set a snipe and in the final seconds the bid went from $50 to $131 ($130 was my maximum bid) So some punter got it for $131 when he should have got it for $50. Oh well. A few days later I saw my mate, I told him I almost got the club for him, he said "Ah dont worry my sister got me one off ebay...we almost got it for $50 then in the last second it jumped to $131!!"
