Here is the sniping software link. Read all the notes etc. I have won a ton of auctions on Ebay and Ubid. Ebay is better as Ubid just keeps extending the ending if someone bids at the end. So you could wait hours to find out. Anyway I started sniping due to losing a lot of items and it keeps the bidding low. Download and install. This software is the best. And it includes links that will bid for you if you are out and about.

1) Try to be the first or second bidder when the auction
opens.
Why not bid until the very end? That's what i do on ebay to save myself some cost. Do they have that silly rule that you can't rush in at the last second if you haven't bid earlier?

I bought a home stereo setup with them, and got a really great price. But no matter what - CHECK THE SHIPPING/HANDLING. They will kill you with that everytime, so unless you get a amazing price, it generally just evens out.

EDIT: 42 bucks for shipping on an 18" LCD monitor?????!!!!! That is CRAZY!!!

You did notice that for some reason this long-dead thread seems to get revived about this time every year. In case you didn't notice, it was started about TWO YEARS AGO! Your message was the first in over a year - let it die!

My experience with UBID was absolutely horrible. I purchased an adapter for my ipod which was advertised as brand new. When I received the product, it was anything but new. Surprisingly, customer service agreed to have it sent back in lieu of a replacement. When I received the replacement which was supposed to be brand new, it was not either. I tried calling ubid.com to have the thing sent back and my money refunded. They said they would contact the vendor and have it sent back and never did. It's been a wild goose chase. I'm just thankful I didn't spend more money. NEVER AGAIN WILL I EVER SHOP AT ubid.com I will make sure my friends know NEVER to shop there either. It's a total scam. I've never had problems with ebay.com or half.com.
