Ebay Sniping

Why would I call attention and encourage bidding competition I don't know? But this is a great sniping site. http://www.gixen.com I just grabbed a Samson Go Mic for $4.84 with $10 shipping. That puts it a little under half of the new cost and where it should be. I don't know why it went so low when all the others go for higher. I can only guess that the lack of bidding and high shipping caused it to slip through. I credit Gixen for placing the bid at the last moment and my not having to bid it up along the way and call attention to it.

A great feature of Gixen is grouping. You can bid on several of the same item and place them in a group. Once one item of the group is won, the others in the group are cancelled.

I appreciate the simplicity of the bidding. Just set your top price and let it go. Yes eBay does this but it shows that you have bid and calls attention to the activity. With Gixen, no one knows you have set the price.

I've tried Jbidwatcher a few times but needing to keep the computer running diminishes the value.

Gixen has been around for some time but I never tried it. I don't say you are going to win often or steal anything. You do stand the chance of getting a deal but the ease and organization of bidding is where the value lies for me.

Currently I am determined to buy a Blue Yeti for under $60 including shipping and it just isn't happening. Gixen just may get it for me.
