Reliable and free, 4 February 2012

Reviewer: kingofthebingogame Junior Member

I have used this completely free service numerous times, and it has been effective in every case. Just copy-and-paste the item number for an auction into the form Gixen provides, and set your bid amount Gixen does the rest. Multiple (seemingly limitless) bids can be set simultaneously, which are displayed in a list beginning with the auction ending soonest and continuing chronologically.

Group items together if you want one bid to cancel another occurring at a later time, providing you win on the first one. This is very helpful if there are several auctions for a particular item that you want ending within a short time from each other, and you are not confident of winning on your first try. Why not have a go at all of them? If you do win somewhere along the line, there are no worries about a bid being placed on those still to come.

An upgrade, called Gixen Mirror, is available which raises the certainty of your bid being placed from an estimated 99.5% to virtually 100%. Generously, Gixen allows you to use the free version infinitely without being required to upgrade but, at only $6.00 for a year's service, it might be worth it just to show your appreciation.

Beautiful little free service, 4 February 2012

Reviewer: Jaguar04 Junior Member

Great little free tool I felt so good about winning a bid I bought the mirror service because I had to give back.

No issues. Three significant wins so far.

Great easy to use program. Free but with a variety of nag screens. Still really worthwhile., 14 January 2012

Reviewer: madrabbitwoman Junior Member

I have been using this program for over 6 months now and I am quite attached to it. To the point that I will probably pony up the 6 bucks to get rid of the main nag screen. I like that it is user friendly and can have up to 10 groups at any one time plus the unlimited snipes. The only main issue I have is that there is no quick way to refresh without getting a whiny message and having to click again. I highly recommend this program regardless.
