What I do is keep two auction windows open - one with my bid all ready to submit, and the other I keep refreshing to know the current bid level and the time remaining. With about 15 seconds left, I simply count a few seconds and hit submit on my bid window. I also try to establish to the second when the auction ends. Works pretty good. But I may give that e-snipe thing a try.

Yahoo does things a bit differently. I'm not certain if this is an option for every auction, but I've seen it where, even though the auction has ended, you still have a set time to beat the final bid. The problem is - who uses Yahoo auctions? I haven't for a very long time and thus I can't remember exactly how everything works there. One feature I just love is Yahoo's little pop up clock. Works great.

Ugh! I thought I was replying to another topic and I stupidly opened a new one! Please close!
