Once upon a time I used an auction sniping site, but I can’t remember which one. And it was several years ago, so I bet there’s better things out there now.

Any recommendations?

I’ve always used [Auction Sentry](http://www.auctionsentry.com/).

The feature I like most is that I can set up bids on multiple items and it will go until it wins one and then skip the rest. That may be a common feature now, but it was the selling point for me when I was researching years ago.
