BidNobble: A free sniping tool

Posted by thatedeguy on 17th April , 2007 - no responses

There are plenty of sniping tools out there for eBay users. Some work very well and others just do the job. Nearly all of them have a cost. BidNobble isn’t one of those. It’s completely FREE!

It works on just about any system including Linux and Mac systems. Pretty much anything that runs Java can run BidNobble.

BidNobble is a Java based auction tool for eBay users. You can track eBay auctions and the snipe tool allows you to schedule your bid to be placed seconds before the auction ends, avoiding driving the price high early in the auction’s life.

Take a look at the screenshots and it looks like a pretty smooth program. It also looks like it works pretty well. The only down side that I see is that you have to keep your computer and the program running and connected to the internet if you want it to work properly. No connection, or computer off and the program can’t make the bids for you. Also, if you have a slow connection, the program might have a hard time making the bid with 5 seconds left if it takes 10 seconds to send the info to eBay.

It’s certainly worth a try though as it is free and it does look like it could be a very useful tool for bidders.
