Used one called Snapper...

... and was able to win two auctions. But was using my "free turns". I'm not sure I'd pay for the service in my situation.

If your after a item, you put in the max you want to pay & it will bid at the last few seconds upto your max amount for you.

Yes but then the price goes up as "bidding war" continues:doh
Bid bot or whatever it's called ONLY puts your bid in 3 or 4 secs before the end of the auction. So other interested parties dont have time to up their bid before the end of the auction:sly
It also stops me getting all excited at the end and over bidding:thumbs
Always use esnipe myself and to great effect:naughty
