I am helping company to buy bunch of network gear.
Since I live in Hawaii, I normally go by when the auction ends.
but unless, I am right in from of my computer and remember it, I forgot most of the time.
and if I bid it too early, either I pay too much, or get outbid at last mintue.

How do you guys keep track the items, so you can bid at last mintue?
I have a PDA, but I only use it for my email. is there a software or hardware that I can either install on PDA or Computer for it?

Thanks

That's pretty sweet.

I usually set an alarm on my Palm. (I use the program BigClock.)

you can also use eSnipe to snipe the auction at the last few seconds... some people don't agree that it works.. some people don't like it.. but I think it's great and I use it for the rare big-ticket auctions

There is nothing wrong with sniping. I do it all the time.

I like auctionstealer. You can snipe 10 sec before the auction closes for free. 3 seconds before the auction closes and group sniping if you are willing to become a member and pay a monthly fee.

Thanks for all the info.
I decide to go with Auctionsetaler, since it does everything on the web.
it is hard to bid on, when you are out or just can't make on time.

I still don't understanding the purpose of sniping. Ebay has built in proxy bidding, so if you enter the most you're willing to bid, it will 'snipe' for you. :confused:

that's what i could never understand...

Anyways, check out the Ebay Toolbar...it's a lot like the google toolbar, except it loads an advertisement everytime you click anything on the bar. I was forced to take it off b/c i had the banner site blocked in my hosts file and nothing would load without me removing the address from my hosts file.
