It will be always a nonsense for me. Why sellers when they try to sell this kind of item don't use the EBAY OPTION LARGE(s) PHOTO(s). I don't know the cost of this option in EBAY USA but in France it's 1 euro or if you want a package (until 12 photos !), it's just little more. If they hope to sell their item with much money, why they save $1 or $2 for a large photo or save money about Ebay sale commission ? And it's often with a ''Gem'' on sale. You find large photos for items with bid for $0.99 (like in covers section) and no large scan or hi-res photo for the High value auction. If they want sell in good conditions, they should ''rassure'' the potetial buyer. Or maybe they have another idea in mind like know the item is forgery, autopen, not real, etc... (or maybe I'm too paranoid)

LadyCosmos,
I know what you mean. It seems there are a lot of gems like this one which are listed on eBay with only one or two small photos.

Scott, I won this photo and his Apollo 11 access badge from a fellow Cs member. I feel much better with you're comment about it being a gem!Dave |

How does one spike the winning bid just three seconds before it closes? |

There are programs and/or websites that are designed to help you "snipe" like this. I used to be against sniping...and ideally I prefer auction settings like Astro Auction and R&R where sniping only extends the auction. It's more fair to everyone that way. But I have since realized that if one wants to play the Ebay game, sniping is almost a requirement to win an auction for an item that multiple people are competing for. Using one of the sniping services, one can simply input their maximum bid, then walk away, letting the sniping program place your bid at the last second. |

Well said Mark.
Snipe programs also help those who are not in the US time zones and who can only place a bid hours before the auction ends, with the high risk of being outbid. A-A and R&R are conceptually grand ideas, but I can hardly ever win anything on R&R unless I want to stay up until 5am GMT as someone will always top me by $50!
I also got fed up of being sniped by dealers. If you can't beat 'em....Paul |

I have used http://auctionsniper.com/ as a stand in for the times I could not be locked to my computer. Keep in mind your maximum bid is the key. If someone else has proxy bid a higher amount than you enter you still lose. I have used this service for about four years with a 80% success rate. The fee is only 1%. Much less than what it would cost me to take off from work to bid on an item that closes during mid day or afternoon. Pre determining my maximum bid also helps to keep me from over spending while caught up in a bidding war just to win.Terry |

I agree with Terry and others that, love it or hate it, sniping works. I seldom bid on autographs anymore, but for me personally I noticed that when I didn't use a sniping program, I never won anything (including the times I became occupied and missed the end of the auction). When I did snipe, I won about half the time. In my personal experience it works, very well. |
