[quote="Cupid"]Generally the effort involved in developing applications to snipe on sites has never yet been justified by the amount of interest/traffic that those sites receive. In any case are you certain that any site that extends the time of auctions will actually not do so if the bid is in the last second, I find that hard to believe without more evidence. I'm not sure what you mean about 'ante-up' but I assume you are talking about a site where you have to pay for each bid made? I've never taken any interest in a site like that so I have no idea how they work, I can see how they make money for those sites though. Use of Gixen data has been suggested in the past, however I don't think Mario has yet found anyone that would be interested enough in that data to make it a worthwhile money making exercise for Gixen and its users. He may also have ethical reasons why he would not wish to pursue that route.[/quote]

And of course you have the to ante-up so much money from which the cost of each bid is deducted. It would probably be helpful to develop some tracking software so that you could determine what times of the week, day or night result in the lowest cost winners for a given item - this tracking software might conceivably be applicable to the present Gixen system as regards to when auctions end (which day of the week, what time of day) produce the lowest cost winners, recognizing that bidders using sniping services will skew the results somewhat but it should be possible to identify potential snipe bids and adjust for that.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
