A sniper? What do you want a sniper for? Wouldn't that be illegal?

We use Auction Sentry (auctionsentry.com I think)...very good, was very cheap about $15, get regular updates free of charge.

Oh, now that IS boring. I thought we'd uncovered a gun smuggling ring on MN. Why does NOTHING exciting ever happen in my life?

they put in a bid for you a few seconds before the end of the auction - you snipe the item! Its very satisfying to win the item 3 seconds from the end and all the other bidders lose

So that's how it's done! I usually sit continually hitting the refresh button - I KNEW there had to be an easier way.
