Buyer Auction Manager Background and History

Picture of Robert from BAM My name is Robert and I'm a programmer. In the middle of 2011 while looking through completed eBay listings, I've noticed that sometimes there were items that sold for bargain prices. I've noticed that those items were mostly Buy It Now listings and that they usually ended right after they were listed (less than 2 minutes after they've been posted).

This gave me an idea to create a software that would query newly posted Buy It Now listings on eBay and display them in a grid. Originally I've created BAM for myself and successfully used it to win items I was interested in.

I believe this is the only way left to find real bargains on eBay. It takes time because most of the items that the software shows you will be priced high as most sellers put BIN price that's above market value. There will be some sellers though that will list their items for BIN price that's below market value. Those are the items you want to look for and my software will find them for you.

I called this functionality Win It Now and I released it as part of original Buyer Auction Manager. After a few months, I've decided to make it better. I made a lot of changes to Win It Now module such as ability to search within store listings, better search engine and ability to customize what you want to see.

I've also developed two totally new modules called Sniper and Ending Now. Sniper allows you to schedule automatic bids that will be placed in the last seconds of the auction. This will help you save money by avoiding bidding wars and compulsive bidding. Ending Now will scan for auctions that are about to end. This will help you uncovered deals that have been overlooked by others.

All those features are currently part of Buyer Auction Manger (Full).

Win It Now module allows you to scan for newly posted Buy It Now listings on eBay to help you find bargains. There are sellers on eBay who list items very low Buy It Now prices. Those listings usually end within two minutes. BAM will help you find those items before other people have a chance to see them:

Ending Now module scans for auctions that are about to end. This will help you uncover items overlooked by others allowing you to bid on those items or snipe them:

Sniper module will places your bids in the final seconds of the auction. This will help you avoid bidding wars and save you money because other people bidding will not have enough time to increase their bids:

You can schedule snipes from Win It Now module, Ending Now module, Sniper module or Browser. You schedule your snipes using Snipe Manager. Just insert your maximum bid, set snipe buffer, choose eBay account and Snipe:

Conveniently browse eBay using included Browser module. When you see an item that you want to bid on, just click on Manage Item and it will open Snipe Manager where you can schedule a snipe or watch the item:

Finally, you can customize the software in Setup section. You can change the size of grid images, columns you want to see and set notifications. You can save your search keywords so you do not have to type them in every time you start the application. You can also choose to limit your search by price range or search only within certain category:
