Ebay price comparisions

I have been buying and selling stuff on ebay for years now. I think I joined back in 1999. I used to buy a lot of gadgets and then sell them back on ebay after I would get bored with them. Anyways; one of the things that ebay lacks is a way to figure out if the item you are buying is really a good deal or not. There are so many deals now a days that an ebay auction might not really be the best deal. Another problem with ebay is that there is a lot of sniping going on. Sniping refers to the practice of waiting until the last second to bid. I have lost quite a few auctions to ’sniping’. I was looking around online for a application that will let me price compare with ebay and also do automatic bidding. I came across PricePirates; a very cool price comparison tool. Its a free download and works pretty well. I can’t wait to use it for my next bargain hunt over at ebay.
