eBay Sniper

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a free linux ebay sniper out there. When googling, the only ones i could find seemed to be for windoze.

I am not really fond of having some other website do the bidding.

What tools are out there?

jbidwatcher is the best, imho.

Oh, wow, that thing is a memory hawk :-(.

That eats up over 50 MB of my RAM. Is that the way it is supposed to be?

that does seem a little high, but maybe not excessive for java. it typically takes about 20-25MB on my system, which is fine with me since i use it so infrequently, and only right before an auction ends. the only other linux sniper i know of is bidnobble, but that takes even more, like 35-40MB at least. sorry i couldn't be of more help. if you find one that has good features and a smaller footprint, please post back.

No, you were of great help, slackhack.

I was just wondering if there was a fault on my system for the memory consumption or it it is normal.

THANK YOU, really
