Well.....I know we've all had those moments. I am incredibly anal with my ebay searches. I have literally a couple hundred of them. I don't do them daily but I do try to hit my main ones daily with the more tangent searches every few days so I hit the 7-day average ebay cycle.
But there's still stuff I miss.....and I'm okay with that. I have to be. If I saw EVERYTHING that I miss, it'd be even worse than it is now...my sniper software has hamsters running the wheel 24x7x365 as it is anyway.
There's nothing better than having a really high snipe set on a lot only to forget about it and check a few days down the road and get it for like $4.00 or something--a mere fraction of what you were prepared to pay. Unfortunately, just the opposite generally happens. You set a snipe for that REALLY odd number like $107.63, really wanting to set it for $107.63267 or something even MORE difficult for someone to figure out but ebay and the snipe sites don't allow for that Pi-like carrying out to the gazillionth decimal point, so I go with $107.63. THEN.....upon revisiting it down the road, see I've lost at at $2.50 more like $110.13 or even worse that my amount was just a hair less than someone else's snipe and it was a timing issue. ARRRGGGHHH...the inhumanity of it all! Ultimately, it's nothing more than a good case of que sera sera........whatever will be will be. Or....as my lovely bride hates to hear........"it is what it is".
So.....tell us all a little about your techniques for NOT missing THAT..........unless you don't want everyone to find it too...........
