Auction Sniper "Bid Enhancement"
« on: October 18, 2011, 11:58:27 am »
Auction Sniper has a new feature called "Bid Enhancement". No, I didn't make this up, perhaps the choice of names is to imply that this is Auction Sniper on Viagara? I really should refrain from commenting on that. Bid Enhancement lets you add from one to six inches... er, uh, I mean bid increments to your maximum bid. So if your maximum bid "falls short of the mark" in those every critical final seconds of an auction, Bid Enhancement will come to your rescue, automatically adding increments when you need them most!



Here's the info on Bid Enhancement from the Auction Sniper Web site.

"Bid Enhancement is an optional tool that can help protect you from losing an auction by just a few dollars. If your initial maximum bid is immediately outbid, Bid Enhancement will place a second bid using your Max Bid + the amount you specify for Bid Enhancement (if that number is still competitive). To use, just set your max bid and specify how many additional bid increments above your max bid you would like Auction Sniper to protect. Bid Enhancement does not monitor to see if you are outbid after your initial bid is placed.

Important note: Bid Enhancement is optional and free to use but you may end up paying more for the snipe depending on how many additional bid increments you win by."

In the words (or something vaguely resembling them) of Dave Barry:

"Why would I need to enhance MY bids? The very idea is absurd! Ask anyone!
Take every price I say with a grain of salt...
