Hotsniper is an automated way of bidding on auctions. It simply places your bid for you in the last 5 seconds of the auction. You simply tell Hotsniper what you want to win, and Hotsniper places your highest bid for you, by checking the autobid box at the end of the auction.

How much does it cost?
