Well the first three wins are free on AuctionSniper, and then the fees are about the same.
The biggest advantage I can see is that you don't have to sit there and wait to enter your bid at the end.
Other than that, it seems no different than manually entering a maximum bid.
Am I missing something?
I guess it prevents you from emotional bidding as well.
What if someone enters the same maximum bid ahead of you. Don't they have an advantage?
Anyway, it seems marginally better - especially since a lot of auctions end at 3-4am my time.
Congrats on 3,000 posts and thanks.
