Version: SnipeStation IE eBay Auction Bidder Sniper Toolbar 2.1.3
"Does not work on MCE 05 or Vista!! Beware!!!"
Pros: Couldn't imagine, it don't work!!
Cons: Written in an antique version of visual basic and the install wants to go through and replace all the vb dll's with some really out dated versions, if you refuse to let it install these then it will not run, if you do install them then you just lost Windows, Very poor programing, very old, very outdated! Hard to believe in this day and age, and the operating systems in use, along with those coming this is the best that this author can do, It might be great for the ebay only crowd, but I am not giving up MCE 05 or Vista to save 10 cents on an auction!

To my knowledge vista is still about a year away from release! The toolbar works fine on win98, win me, win 2000, win 2003 and XP, running IE6 - so for the majority of windows/IE users this toolbar works nicely.
The toolbar is written in VB6 because there's no need for people to download the cumbersome .NET redistributables. The installer won't overwrite old files, in fact VB6 is the last of it's generation so the dlls that come with the installer are the latest versions.
If you don't understand that last paragraph then you'll appreciate why it's done the way it is - to make it nice and simple :)
Perhaps when vista is released and the first service pack to repair all the bugs is released I'll look into building a version for IE7 - so that's maybe sometime in 2008!!
