	Memorial Day 2011
	[Posted on Monday, May 30, 2011 00:00]
	This is Memorial Day in the United States, a holiday commemorating the war dead. We at eSnipe remain eternally grateful for those who gave their lives to let us continue the remarkable experiment called The United States of America. Memorial Day was first observed by freed slaves after the Civil War, so it is a doubly important time to remember. Have an awesome barbecue today, but we hope you take a silent moment to thank those who paid the ultimate price to keep the fabric of our lives together.

	eSnipe's Partial Outage the Morning of May 6, 2011
	[Posted on Thursday, May 05, 2011 00:00]
	Early in the morning of May 6, some of eSnipe's servers stopped functioning, including the one that displays the home page. eSnipe has many servers, separated by both geography and function. When the eSnipe home page is down, as happened this morning, it doesn't mean the site is gone. While hundreds of bids were missed (and we apologize profusely for that) other servers were still very much alive placing bids. Of course without access to the home page you wouldn't be able to cancel bids, but at least sniping was still active for most users. Some of you looked up the whois records for eSnipe and called the only number shown, which is my private cell number. I'm delighted to answer, and the first such call alerted me to the problem. I am pondering a better use of the whois information to make emergency contact more reliable. eSnipe doesn't have phone support, but it might be useful in similar cases in the future.

Bid Groups allow an Auction Sniper to draw down and sight in on his target to execute a win with precision calculation and money-saving madness! They combine the precision of sniping with the ability to comparison shop the auctions. And, like the boss says, you can do all this while you sleep. How’s that for efficiency? Meet the ALL NEW AND IMPROVED BID GROUPS!!! Ok. Well, not really NEW and only slightly IMPROVED Bid Groups! Why change a good thing? (We hear that a lot from you folks, by the way.) So we tweaked our Bid Groups feature to capitalize on every last little bit of performance we could eeeek out of them. Sort of like you, pinching those pennies only we are pinching performance to get it all! Don’t delay one minute longer; educate yourself about this little known secret strategy for saving money with eBay and eSnipe. Bid Groups seem to be one of the most requested yet little used features we have. Watch the video; read the press release; study the FAQs and tutorial; but most importantly, try them out!!

	Auction Sniper Skilz: Use Bid Groups To Do Judo on eBay
	[Posted on Thursday, April 28, 2011 00:00]
	We've posted a video to YouTube on how to use multiple eBay listings for the same kind of item to your advantage. Bid Groups lets you place bids on multiple similar items. As soon as one of them wins, the other bids are deleted.
