A very straight forward guide to Auction Sniping This does work as many of you have seen my 140m+ account as proof.
What is Auction Sniping?
Auction sniping is buying items of the auctions that are selling below there normal rate.
All kinds of items from codestones to paint brushes to hidden tower items pass through the auctions everyday and 9/10 a sniper gets them but how?
Basics
The basics of auction sniping is to out bid your rivals to the item.
Now at anytime you will have alot of people all bidding on the same item at once, so, you have to give your self the edge over your competitors.
These simple points will help you “snipe” alot more items than you were previously able to.
1. Where to snipe
2. What to snipe
3. Your rivals
4. Your bid
Where To Snipe
To start of sniping don’t start bidding on items that are selling under price with hours remaining that’s a waste of time and just plain daft, only bid on items that are under the “1-20” column, if these items are going to fast for you at the beginning start of at the “21-40” column this will give you a bit more time but will give the pro snipers a better chance to change the bidding pattern…which i will discuss later.
Just continuously refresh that page every 5 seconds to see a new list of items.
What To Snipe
Items under priced go through the auctions every few minutes, it would be wise to take advantage of this, if your new to sniping aim for codestones, food, faerie or similar items.
Eventually you will feel the need to make some real dough, this is when you will be on the look out for the lab maps, PBs , Nerkmids, Mps and loads more.
It would benefit you greatly if you made your self aware of what items are currantly selling for, the more items you are aware of the more items you can go for.
Your Rivals
This little number can make you alot of neopoints simply by following the rival snipers, when you see one of these following people bid on an items stalk them, out bid them because 99% of the time they are making profit…these are pro snipers:
* Follow_Your_Destiny
* Swippe
* Davioth
* Old_Snipe_Machine
* Ihalo_Is_Back
* Qt_Gt
* dragon_paint_brush
Your Bid
Not IF but when you come across that bargain item don’t bid the next increment…why because:
* You stand to be outbid a split second later or
* You’ve already been out bid before your bids processed.. when you bid, increase the bid by something like 1234 or 4567 (depending on the items value) doing this will almost certainly ensure you get a bid in and it will also stop anyone else from bidding the increment.
As soon as you have had a bid that’s been successful quickly press “back” and put another bid in, this time raise previous bid by another 1234 or 2345, keep doing this (back enter) until you get another bid in.
Example
If the item is selling for 40k with a 1k increment and I raise it by 2222 the bid will stand at 42222 enter that bid then press back and enter 44444 repeat this process until the auction is over.
Misc
Auctions in the “1-20” column only last around 15 seconds so doing this process twice with almost guarantee the item…..
I also have several other tabs open whilst sniping, one on the toy shop, the magic shop and the stamp shop, so if nothing comes through the auctions on a couple of refreshs you can refresh the shops…
