For the same reason that I've refused to verify a 
bank account with Paypal, I would be leery to 
enter all my bidding IDs and passwords into a 
single database. No matter how well protected, 
all those IDs and passwords in one place is like 
leaving a $100 bill on a car's front seat - it's 
begging someone to break in to get them.

That aside, I can see how something like Auction 
Stealer could help some people keep to their 
budget. I hear of a lot of people who claim they 
get "caught up in the moment" and overspend. Me, 
I would rather be the one watching the end of an 
auction in which I have great interest. Usually, 
that can be arranged in some way.

Now for their claim of "wins more auctions", well 
I don't know about that. In my experience, the 
thing that wins the most auctions is *deep 
pockets*. I do think it would help avoid annoying 
bid walkers. . . but true bid walkers really 
don't seem all *that* common.
