Been running 3.0.11 for a little while now!
Just put a snipe on something without trouble. I suspect that Tim's problem
was Ebay being a bit sluggish. I've used a couple of other sniping programs
and one web-based service. AS is the best one I've come across so far. The
_only_ time I'll place a bid directly on an auction is if I think that a
inexperienced seller might withdraw an item due to apparent lack of interest.
