If you can't personally be present to snipe at the end of an auction, check out an automated sniping program or web-based sniping service. These programs and services let you enter the item number of the auction and your maximum bid beforehand, and then go online at precisely the right time to place a last-minute snipeeven if you're not at home or you're otherwise occupied. The best of these auto-snipe tools are listed in Table 12.1.
