Welcome to Something for Nothing

eBay to me has become such a phenomenon. People never cease to amaze me on what they sell on eBay. Some of my favorites are a tatoo for Golden Palace casino on your forehead, earwax, and even an entire business. The one that takes the cake for me was when someone sold a box containing Ben Rothlesburger’s Helmet after his accident on a motorcycle that sent him to the hospital. For those who may not understand the joke, Ben is the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and got in an accident on a motorcycle when he wasn’t wearing a helmet. The box is EMPTY!! GENIUS!! I think it sold for a few thousand dollars.

Well, despite all the funny things that are sold on eBay you can now get just about anything you want on eBay. I have friend who only purchases clothes from eBay. In fact, he’s able to get Armani suits for really cheap on eBay. He listed off a bunch of other name brand dresses to me that he purchases for cheap on eBay. I unfortunately can’t list them here since I don’t know women’s dresses. Another friend buys all his computers on eBay. It’s really quite amazing.

However, if you are the average user on eBay you might just get ripped off. Don’t worry though, there is a great automatic eBay bidder tool just for you. Here’s a short review of the tool.

This tool features 3 great features and a number of other minor features.

1. Automated Bidding - Occassionally people will end a bid in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, if you want to make sure you get the final bid that means you have to stay up and watch the bidding to see if you want to purchase this item. With an automatic eBay bidder that concern should be gone. Just set it and forget it. Well, you probably don’t want to forget it, because tomorrow you’ll want to know that you indeed got the item you bid on.

2. eBay Snipping or Bid Snipping - This term refers to when you bid on an item at the last second leaving no time for anyone else to bid on the item. Sure, you could wait until the bid is almost over and do this yourself. However, a computer is much better at it. Also, see item 1 for why you might not want to do this yourself on late night bids.

3. Auction Reminders - The program reminds you of auctions ending soon by alert or free text message on your cell phone. In fact, the program is becoming so robust it can handle all of your scheduling needs.

Here’s a few other features to think about:
- easy adding of items: importing from „my eBay“ or open Internet Explorer windows
- manual bidding and Buy-It-Now straight out of the program
- no need to open the eBay Web site
- automatic Internet dial-up function with dial-up guardian
- bidding groups: prevents double buying of similar items when auto bidding
- search function for eBay
- administer multiple eBay accounts - no ads, no popups, no spyware
