jBidwatcher for Mac

Publisher's Description

From CyberFox Software:

jBidwatcher is a Java-based application allowing you to monitor auctions you're not part of, submit bids, snipe (bid at the last moment), regularly search for auctions, and otherwise track your auction-site experience. It includes adult-auction monitoring and sniping, several currencies (pound, dollar (US, Canadian, and Australian), and euro), drag-and-drop of auction URL's, an original and unique 'multisniping' feature, a nice UI, and is known to work cleanly under Linux, Solaris, Windows, and MacOSX from the same binary, but provides platform-specific versions for Windows and MacOSX for ease of installation and use.`

What's new in this version:

eBay related changes

  • Better handle inter-country bidding failures, and some odd eBay interstitial pages
  • Removed Dutch Auction support, since eBay doesn’t support that listing type anymore
  • A ton of eBay-driven changes for new page formats, different bidding forms, and more.
  • Better image/thumbnail retrieval, and price detection
  • Improve BIN detection on fixed-price items you’ve already b... See all new features

    Version: jBidwatcher 2.1.5

    Pros

    Morgan Schweers has made eBay more fun. JBW is in a class all alone.

    JBW's main problem is eBay. So far the Schweers' team has kept
    the app above water still #1.

    "The best eBay snipper out there for the Mac......"

    ...Period...
    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This has yet to fail for me, 2 years using, and picked up lots of bargains. Not sure why its still free, as other snipe apps, that don't work, charge quite a lot and I've bought most of them... Best of all jBidWatcher is now out of beta... Try it and make your own mind up...

    "Seems to have real problems"

    August 18, 2008  |   By DrBilly

    Version: jBidwatcher 2.0beta7

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    All versions of this app have had their own particular problems. The developer is a one-product hobbiest â?? and there's nothing wrong with that given the app is free. But, no, he doesn't support the product very well.
    JBid suffers from one problem in particular that makes it dangerous. It suffers from a gross overflow that only appears after a large number of files (auctions) have expired. It works fine for a while, but after it accumulates enough data it becomes weaker, finally stalling the whole system (common to java) and corrupting files along the way. The new 2.0 beta is no different. Either the developer doesn't know about this or he is ignoring it.
    This is a beta. It has ALWAYS been a beta. That said, it is not in the same class as other beta programs out there, where once in a while something doesn't work right. Use it at your own risk. That's what beta means.

    "Worked great...for awhile...."

    January 28, 2008  |   By jack.the.tab

    Version: jBidwatcher 1.0.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Really loved this program at first then all of a sudden just started having various issues:

    -would not update auctions
    -would not snipe

    Operator error?-Sure it's a possibility but i have not altered my system since I've installed this!

    Would I recommend -well i would say use at your own risk... On the upside it is free (Thanks by the way!!)...But if it's not working then...

    "Great tool"

    November 13, 2007  |   By Vanderdecker

    Version: jBidwatcher 1.0.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    What motivated me to write this review is that just tonight a Paypal auction ended for an item that I wanted quite a bit, but I'd gotten caught up in this and that and totally forgot about it.

    Fortunately, I'd set JBidWatcher to snipe the auction, and it won the item at a nice price.

    I do wonder if those who've had problems have read the FAQ:
    http://www.jbidwatcher.com/help/faq.shtml
    very helpful, and quickly solved a problem that had cropped up as I was frantically trying to add the bid to JBW.

    I've been using this app for quite a while now, and it's never failed to do what it was told to.

    "Works! and it works Very Well!"

    October 13, 2007  |   By Doc.

    Version: jBidwatcher 1.0.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I don't understand why others are saying this does not work. I've never had a problem with JBid doing it's job perfectly.

    When ebay has messed around the developer has always fixed the problem. I would gladly pay $10 for this app and think he should make it shareware.
