I've lost out in the last 10 seconds of I have no idea how many auctions in the last month or two and usually only by $1 or less. Do you have any idea how much it hurts to sit as high bidder for 3-5 days only to lose the stupid thing in the last seconds of the sale?! Today finally clinched it for me...I lost a fantastic Genco to a bid exactly $0.01 more than mine 4 seconds before the auction ended and then 30 minutes later I lost a Dubl Duck to a bid $1.00 higher than mine. Is it just me or does it seem like sniping software is cheating...I mean if I'm not sitting there at the end of my bids my wife is sitting here with me on the phone (usually from work) monitoring my auctions as they end. I mean...how are we supposed to compete with this shit?!

That being said I'm of the "sniping software should be banned, and anyone found to be using it should have their eBay account suspended" camp, but I'm coming to grips with the fact that that will never happen. So I guess the question here is what is the best software to go against my own sense of morality and give me a fighting chance at this stuff? I'm so anti-snipe that I'd much prefer not to PAY for a service because that would be WAY too evil so I'm mostly interested in free services.

If I start winning some good stuff instead of losing everything pretty much all the time, then I might consider converting to the "sniping rocks" camp and consider paying for a better service.
