Auction Snipers
Auction Sniping Tools that allow consumers to place last minute bids Auction sniping is the process, in a timed online auction (such as on eBay), of placing a winning bid at the last possible moment (often seconds before the end of the auction), giving the other bidders no time to outbid the sniper. This can be done manually, or by software. The software can be designed for the purpose running on a bidder's computer, or for an online Internet sniping service, where the software agent is run from a website. Use of a service is stated to decrease the failure rate of the snipe, because the website is expected to have more reliable servers and Internet connection with lower and less variable delay in sending data (latency) enabling the bid to be placed closer to the deadline, even arriving within the last second. A bid sniper is a person who, or software agent which performs auction sniping.

Famous quotes containing the word auction:
“The white American man makes the white American woman maybe not superfluous but just a little kind of decoration. Not really important to turning around the wheels of the state. Well the black American woman has never been able to feel that way. No black American man at any time in our history in the United States has been able to feel that he didn’t need that black woman right against him, shoulder to shoulder—in that cotton field, on the auction block, in the ghetto, wherever.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
