Gixen is excellent. It has failed me only a couple times and then just for short periods. Highly recommended. I have used it for over one thousand bids.

I use eSnipe and have since its introduction maybe 10 years ago. At that time it was free, but when they started charging for the service, many of us oldtimers were grandfathered in at no charge. I don't recall when they started charging for Bid Points, or something like that. One must prepay for them but they are lenient with minor overdrafts. I've found them highly reliable and recall a SNAFU on only 2 or 3 bids. The others are likely as good.
Is there a service that works with Delcampe?

Well lesson to my self I lost out Because I was lazy ………..didn’t use Gixen snipe !
This afternoon I came across an item I was interested in .It had two small bids from different bidders and definitely worth double the current bid of £4. Showing only 2 hours to go, I placed. £9 bid which showed up as high bidder at £6, topping the concealed under bid as worth £5.50
However, This gave the under bidder time to get 2 bids in and win at £ 9. 50.
If I had taken a few minutes to go to set up a Gixen snipe , my bid would have been hidden , the underbidder would not have been alerted to my interest to raise his bid and I would probably have won at £6.00.
