    it would kinda be hard cuz the prgram would have to find the cheapest auction of the item because usually some people start their auction really high

    WRONG!!

    make the program to search for a certain kind of item with less than a minute on the auction and tell it to only bid if it is under a certain amount of points, kind of like the usershop autobuyer

    It kinda is almost like the usershop ab, except you're inputing the price multiple times and raising it at the same time to get the item.

    they worked a lot better when you could see how much time was left on the auction. But I'm going to make it so it refreshes the first page of auctions, and when it finds an auction you've specified it will bid on it, and since it's on the last page it should be bidded on within 1-5 seconds before it closes ;o

    It would be awesomer if it had a function by which you could input an auction ID of an auction you see early, and it would refresh on the auction until the timing interval changes (like from 2 hrs - 30 mins to less than 30 mins), and then it would know exactly what time the auction ends, and it could bid right then, and win an incredible amount more than by guesswork alone.

    yeah I was thinking of something like that, but then it would have to refresh around every 3 seconds to be accurate, and so it wouldn't support multiple auctions. (you could only snipe 1 auction at a time). But if people would prefer that, I could do it?

    Can't it to do both. Like I either give it a specific auction or just let it do its job on multiple auctions.

    it would be much easier if the person had to input the auction id because the constant refreshing of auctions would get suspicious

    If you wanted one that supported multi-auctioning, you could just search for the items ahead of time, import auction IDs, and then wait for it to do its magic.

    Im guessing making a program to refresh on a certain auction number would be rather easy. My advice would be to make a simple program, attatched or individual from the auction sniper that you put an auction # in and it refreshes until the time changes, then gives you a counter to its best estimate, acccurate to whatever the refresh interval was set to, of when the auction will end.

    Then you have the auction sniper where you input your auction # and then input the estimated time remaining in the auction (you get this from the counter on the aforementioned program) and it will then bid up to whatever amount you set until the auction ends.

    this is a very rough explanation and isnt as easy to use, but its a start to improve upon.

    My 2 cents,

    first someone has to make it... lol.

    so, you would find the auctions, input the ID's, then let it do it's magic? nice idea!

    Very helpful, yet it will take a long time like expon said. And i dont think you can just be a persons neofriend in the last second unless they accept, you cant automatically just be their neofriend :?
