Auctionsniper.Com - Great e-Bay sniping site - Easy Conga

Fellow e-Bayers know the frustration of being outbid at the very last second by a very agile bidder. Turns out that there are a number of web sites out there which automate the last second "sniping." The one that I like is http://www.auctionsniper.com. You set the bid time (such as 5 seconds before the end of the auction) and how much you want to bid. The price is extremely reasonable (1% of the final price, with a minimum of twenty five cents and maximum of $5). I have saved quite a bit of money using this service and use it for ALL my e-Bay bids.

If you sign up for the service you get three free snipes. You also give the referrer three free snipes.

If you sign up it would be great if the first person could use my ebay name - jeffreycalifornia. Others can then post their eBay name.

So now instead of the snipee you can be the sniper! Happy bidding.

I use ebay alot, primarily as a seller - I actually have two bronze PowerSeller accounts for whatever that's worth - but occasionally as a buyer. In my view you're doing yourself no favors by placing a bid at any time other than the last seconds of a traditional (non-fixed price) auction, by bidding earlier you risk running up the price up unnecessarily. On the occasion that I find an ebay item that I want to buy I make it a point to ALWAYS use auctionstealer.com (similar to auctionsniper), it's worked like a champ for me every time.

Question

Why is this a conga line?

Sounds like a product someone might benefit from?

But are referrals involved here?

I think its just trying to work the extra free transactions angle:

"If you sign up you get three free snipes. You also give the referrer three free snipes."

Did you read the first post?

I did, but he didn't leave any referral links or anything.

How is this line going to be organized?

I am not volunteering anymore

I am more interested in telling people about this great program (and there are others out there) than getting free three swipes. But here is a link that could help. Again others can give their name if they want too:

Thanks and happy bidding!

Yeah, well I wish you wouldn't spread the word too far. Several thousand fellow flyer-talkers is fine, but what if EVERYBODY used a snipe program?
