Interesting concept over at eSnipe. It's an automated server that allows you to place bids on eBay items, however, it waits until the last possible moment to actually place the bid.

What a great idea! I've wasted plenty of time refreshing my eBay screen at some ridiculous hour in the morning to make sure I won an auction. No more late nights or being annoyed when someone schedules a meeting that overlaps an auction end.
