Re: [photo-3d] Sniping

The sniping software "BidSniper Pro" is set up with an initial bid, at which
to enter (or try to enter) the bidding, and can be instructed to raise the
bidding "x" times by "y" dollars each time.  The user also tells it how many
seconds before the end of the auction to place the initial bid.

On one auction, I set it to place the first bid at 30 seconds before the end
of the auction, and won with my third raise.
