eBay alerts for serious collectors

The piece you've wanted for years lists once and sells fast. eSnipe watches for it around the clock and pings you the instant it appears, at the condition and price you set.
Never miss the listing you've been waiting for
Rare pieces don't list often, and when they do, they go quickly. A monitor running 24/7 means you find out the moment one surfaces — even if it lists at 4 a.m. while you're asleep.
Filter to collector-grade only
Lock searches to graded or specific conditions, set a price range that fits a fair-market buy, and exclude reprints, replicas, and 'as-is' listings with negative keywords so only the right pieces reach you.
- Condition locked to graded / mint / specific grades
- Price range to skip overpriced and suspiciously cheap listings
- Negative keywords for 'reprint', 'replica', 'proxy', 'damaged'
Track your whole want-list at once
Build a monitor for every grail on your list, route them to a dedicated Discord channel or your phone, and let eSnipe quietly watch for all of them in parallel.

- Filters
