I use a sniping program, mainly because the items I want to bid on close after I go to bed (!!) or if I don't set a snipe, I forget all about bidding. At the risk of being zapped, I use goofbid to snipe. It is quite easy to use, even for an old wart like me.
Maybe that's what I need because I often miss out on things overnight, either because I forget or I'm too tired to think about what the maximum is I want to pay, so just punch an amount in through half closed eyes.
