If you can't find that one Evan you can try JBidWatcher. I have used
it for a long time and it works quite well, assuming that you have a JVM
loaded on your machine.

I prefer esnipe, as it runs on their servers which are maintained better
than mine. Plus if my desktops are powered off, the snipe still
happens. Satisfied customer for nearly a decade.

There's really no reason to bid early on something you want. The best course of action
is to wait til the last possible second and bid the most you're willing to spend.
Otherwise you are just allowing others to bid up the auction.

esnipe here--as a legacy customer, I pay nothing if I win with a bid
under $25. That covers a lot of small stuff, so why bother with a
regular bid?
