GixenReviews 508

Gixen has a very singular focus. It allows you to place a maximum bid on any item listed for auction on one website - eBay.

In my opinion, the best way to secure an auction is to bid at the very last moment - it gives your fellow bidders no opportunity to overbid you. It's also useful to help you avoid the temptation to exceed a bid ceiling you had previously decided upon. I find it essential for bidding upon auctions when you are either busy, asleep, or doing the adulting you should actually be focusing on, instead of buying more junk on eBay. It allows you to group a number of auctions together and have the first successful bid cancel the others in the group. You can get this and more for free. Okay, you can only use it four times per month, but that's plenty to get a taste, or to satisfy the occasional sniper.

For just six bucks a year though you get unlimited bids, server redundancy (that will bid in the event the main server goes down), you get responses to your emails, and I've personally seen suggestions taken on board and made into new features. The owner, Mario, is clearly committed to making the site better and more useful to its users. I'm just about to renew my annual subscription for a second time, and as someone who bids 10+ times per months, I've lost count of how much the service has saved me.

This is one of a very small handful of sites I recommend unreservedly to my friends, clients, and family. Thank you Mario for an awesome tool.

For a Yorkshireman, Gixen is perfect. A free service which does exactly what it says. I have never been let down by them and they have saved me hundreds of pounds over the many years I have used the service to place bids on Ebay. Gixen places your bid during the closing moments of the auction so you don't get caught up in a bidding race. You do not need to be on-line when the bid is placed. You can decide on your bidding limit at any time up to a few minutes before the auction closes.
I started using Gixen as a free service (Gixen places the bid from one of its servers) and it never let me down. Although I didn't need to, I decided to buy a subscription to their mirror service (bid also placed from a second server - belt & braces) more as a thank you than as a need. It cost just $6 per year (about £5).

Gixen is by far the best auction sniper you can use. I have been using Gixen for several years now. I previously tried several auction snipers that were ok, but when I tried Gixen, there was no comparison. The service is free and flawless. For a very low cost ( I think about $6.00 annually) you can add a second mirror snipe so that if there are any network glitches your bid is virtually guaranteed. If you are unsure, please try Gixen just once and I am sure you will find it very user friendly, secure and reliable.

I have been a regular Gixen user for several years, and find it to be a very simple, dependable tool for gaining an advantage in certain ebay auction situations. Before I first subscribed, I checked out some other options, but felt Gixen was my best bet and I have never regretted the decision.

The cost is minimal, Mario (the Gixen operator) effectively communicates by email when needed, is constantly upgrading his system, and the process he has developed is clear and simple to use, and I have had great results. I am a regular ebay shopper, and in an auction buying situation I feel like my success has been dramatically increased when using Gixen.

I HIGHLY recommend Gixen!
