Anuko Auction Sniper software runs on your computer and can place bids on your behalf at times you specify. It is a desktop auction sniping program that you fully control. Your auction website credentials such as login and password to eBay are not transmitted to a 3rd party server. Sniping is performed from your computer at times determined by you. For example, you can bid on eBay lots 10 seconds before auction closing times. Or, you can bid at specific local or auction website times (eg. place bid of US$ 10.51 on eBay lot X on Monday at 10:15 eBay time).

Anuko Auction Sniper is a sniping program that helps advanced, savvy buyers to win more auctions with less effort and money. Think of it as an organizer and an auction assistant. You set and schedule your bids wisely, well in advance and without bidding war pressure from other buyers.

Anuko Auction Sniper couldn’t be easier to use. Once you find the item you wish to bid on, set it up as a new auction target and let the program do the rest.

Main Window of Auction Sniper

Once you login to the program you should see the main window of the Auction Sniper application. It is simply a list of auction targets with their status. It may look like this for one auction target:

Test Sniping Mode vs Production Sniping Mode

Anuko Auction Sniper can work in 2 sniping modes. You can see the mode you are in now in the title bar of the program.

Test Sniping Mode

In test mode your bids are simulated. Everything is done exactly like in production mode except for final bid confirmation. This last step (bid confirm) is skipped and the bids are never confirmed. This mode allows you to practice sniping and get familiar with the application. You can make as many test shots as you like free of charge.

Production Sniping Mode

In production mode Anuko Auction Sniper tries to place and confirm bids on your behalf. In other words, it does real auction sniping. You can make 3 free bids in this mode. If you want to continue using auction sniper after 3 free shots you will need to pay a small fee. Buy usage credit by clicking on the "Buy credit" button in the main widow of the sniper application.

How to Snipe

Anuko Auction Sniper is very easy to use. All you need to do is the following:

• Determine auction items you wish to snipe at. Do so by browsing auction websites in your browser and looking at lot numbers.
• For each item you wish to snipe add a new target in the main window of Auction Sniper program. Click on the "New target" button in toolbar to set a new auction target. Set your bid amount and the date and time to place the bid as you like.
• To snipe another auction, create a new auction target.
• To snipe at the same auction item multiple times as in a bidding war create new auction targets on the same item with different bid parameters.

Note: Anuko Auction Sniper can only operate when it is running. Closing Anuko Auction Sniper or shutting down your computer makes it impossible for Anuko Auction Sniper to work.
