Prospector Lite does not help you find gold in San Francisco.
Instead, it helps you find--and keep--almost anything you can
imagine (and a few things you probably can't) on eBay.
Prospector Lite provides two very useful functions. First, it is a
powerful search tool, allowing you to create multiple categories
and sub-categories of searches, grouped however you see fit. This
is great for people with lots of different interests, or for
families--you can have Mom's searches, Dad's searches, and so on.
The searches can be very highly customized--only in a given
category, only auctions, only with 'Buy it Now', and many other
options. Searches can be sorted by price, bids, or end date.
Prospector Lite limits you to 30 searches per day--enough for most
users.
But finding is only half of the equation--there is also
getting. For this, Prospector Lite allows you to place bids
at a specified time interval before the close of the auction,
defaulting to five seconds. (You can also bid directly, of course!)
The Prospector server will send your bid to eBay at the instant you
specify. This is no guarantee of success, of course--a lot of
people are using sniping tools and someone else might get there
first--but it helps. This free demo version allows 15 'snipes' a
month. There are several commercial versions: Prospector Searcher
allows unlimited searches and 30 snipes; Bidder allows 60 searches
and unlimited snipes; and Professional has no limits at all.
Prospector's strength is in its searching--it's a tool for those
who hunt for a lot of things on eBay and need those searches
regularly updated. It's free, so there's no reason not to
use it even if you only buy one or two things a month, but it's
most useful if you're a constant visitor to the international
garage sale that is eBay.
