Welcome to AuctionNavigator

AuctionNavigator has the following features:

AuctionNavigator places a bid in the closing seconds(sniping!) and sees to it that nobody outbids it.
AuctionNavigator does not just make "one shot", but depending on the auction state it can try to increase the price or outbid another buyer's bid. The program has also the "auction guard" feature ensuring that nobody outbids your price and guarding your item until the auction is over.
Auction tracking.
Auction Newsboard. Newsboard will always enable you to have up-to-date information as well as to react operationally to the events at the auction.
Any auction folder can have the "Win only XX items in the folder" attribute. That means that only XX items from this folder can be bought. If such folder has at least XX items that was won, you will not be able to buy any more items from this folder.
AuctionNavigator has two different strategies for bidding, they are "Step by step (min bid)" and "Max bid".
AuctionNavigator is well integrated with Internet Explorer, thanks to it, you can add an item to be tracked without exiting your Internet Explorer.
You can Drag and Drop the item.
Internal Internet browser where you can view reports, eBay listings, items and other information.
AuctionNavigator has an advanced search system.
Receiving responses from the eBay server in the compressed form, it considerably speeds up the process of bidding. Thanks to it, even with a DialUp connection at 28.8 baud, it takes 5..8 seconds to bid on an item.
Automatic or manual time synchronization.
Reports that can be viewed and printed out.
Various program settings.
AuctionNavigator is not a "black box" since everything taking place in the program including how the auction is going on can be seen in a very detailed log.
If you have no permanent Internet connection and connect to the Internet using the modem, AuctionNavigator can automatically connect to the Internet and disconnect after the auction is over.
Automatic program configuration update via the Internet.
Comes with a complete context-sensitive help system with Contents, Index and Search capabilities to get you answers fast.
Intuitive easy to use interface that takes just minutes to master. All functions are accessible by clicking one of the buttons on the toolbar.

Automatic bidding
It is the most important and main feature of the program. AuctionNavigator places a bid in the closing seconds and sees to it that nobody outbids it. To bid on something on the eBay auction, you should add this product and specify the bidding parameters for it. The bidding parameters are the following:
  - the maximum amount you are ready to pay for the item
  - quantity
  - the amount to exceed the minimum bid
  - the number of seconds before the bidding ends when to start "attacking" the product
  - try to exceed the reserve price

After these parameters are specified, the item is added to the bid plan. If you need to connect to the Internet (via the modem), the DialUp plan is created. Both plans can be viewed as reports.

DialUp Plan

After that you do not have to sit in front of the computer. AuctionNavigator will stick to those two plans. Besides, all the most important actions are logged in the log window so you can always view how the auction has been carried out.

When the listing is completed, the product is automatically moved to one of the folders – either "Purchased" or "Not purchased".
