Any one have a good snipe tool that will work with non-ebay bids, specifically skyauction?

I thought skyauction had a way for you to bid automatically...I think it is in there.

But that's not sniping, that's putting in an automatic bid starting at the time you enter it that will automatically step your bid up as others bid. Sniping automatically enters your bid up to a preset maximum in the seconds before the auction close.

Auction sniping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Auction sniping is the process of watching a timed online auction (such as on eBay or Yahoo!), and placing a winning bid at the last possible moment (often literally seconds before the end of the auction), giving the other bidders no time to outbid the sniper. Some bidders do this manually, and others use software designed for the purpose, such as Auction Sentry and Ebay Sniper. A bid sniper is a person or software agent who performs auction sniping.

There are also online sniping services, such as BidRobot.com, AuctionSniper.com, AuctionStealer.com and Gixen.com, where the software agent is run from a website rather than the sniper's own computer. This decreases the failure rate of the snipe, because the website is expected to have more reliable servers that might be quicker to react.

Thanks for the clarification! Actually, I thought a snipe was something you hunted.

Actually snipe hunting should bring to mind the sitcom "Cheers"....
