Targets
A target is one card or item SnipeBid searches for and buys when it is cheap enough.
The Targets tab holds everything SnipeBid trades: single players, single items (consumables, managers, club items) and filters. When you press Start, SnipeBid works through every enabled target and filter in turn.
The snipe and bid sliders
At the top are one or two sliders, depending on the mode:
- 🎯 Snipe at … of market (Snipe and Both): buy Buy Now listings at or under this % of the market price. Range 50–100%, default 95%.
- 🔨 Bid up to … of market (Bid and Both): the highest auction bid as a % of the market price. Range 50–100%, default 95%.
A note under a slider tells you when some targets don’t follow it: targets with their own %, bids capped by your minimum profit, or bids moved by adaptive bidding.
Add a player
- Type at least 2 letters of the name in the search box. Results show the rating, position, whether it’s a special card, the market price and the buy price at your snipe %.
- Click a result, or use the arrow keys and Enter. A player without a market price (usually untradeable) can’t be added.
- The target is added with your Unsold copies per player as its limit. SnipeBid then loads its precise price and 24-hour trend in the background.
Special versions (TOTW, promos) are separate cards. SnipeBid searches for the base player but only buys the exact version you added.
Add a consumable, manager or club item
The same search box finds items too, for example gold contract, Hunter, manager Premier League or kit Arsenal. Items appear under Consumables · managers · club items, after the players.
SnipeBid’s price data covers players only, so for an item you set the prices yourself in a small form:
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | How it shows in your list. |
| Max buy | Required, at least 150. SnipeBid never pays more. |
| Sell price | At least 200, or empty. Empty means: use the cheapest Buy Now SnipeBid saw in its own auction scans (needs Bid or Both mode to collect readings). |
| Unsold copies at once | How many copies of this item SnipeBid holds unsold at the same time. 0 = no limit. |
When you give a sell price, SnipeBid checks that your max buy still leaves your minimum profit after the 5% EA tax, and tells you if it doesn’t. Items are never quick sold.
Reading a target row
| Shows | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Market or ● Live | The price SnipeBid trades on. ● Live means a live price from SnipeBid users is used instead of the market price (see Prices on cards). |
| Trend | The 24-hour price change next to the name, green up or red down. |
| Buy ≤ | The most the sniper pays, and its % of market. Highlighted when the row uses its own %. |
| Bid ≤ | The highest auction bid. ▲ or ▼ when adaptive bidding moved it; highlighted when your minimum profit caps it. |
| Sell | The Buy Now price it will be listed at (or off with Auto-list off). |
| Profit | Per card after the 5% EA tax, at your max buy (or bid cap in Bid mode). |
| Bottom line | When it was last searched, how many listings were under your max, and how many deals were missed. |
Item rows show Max buy, Sell (your price) or EA seen (the cheapest Buy Now SnipeBid saw), and profit.
Row controls
- % box (players): buy at this % of market instead of the slider. 50–100. Clear it to follow the slider again.
- Max and sell boxes (items): edit the max buy and the sell price. You can type
900,1.2kor1m. - Switch: turn the target on or off without deleting it.
- ✕: remove the target.
- Unsold / limit: copies bought and not sold yet, and the most it holds at once (0 = no limit). A copy stops counting when it sells, or 3 days after it was bought. A target at its limit pauses and starts buying again as soon as a copy sells. Open winning bids count toward the limit.
Above the list:
- Buy Now reaction (Snipe and Both): Human, Fast or Turbo. See Sniper. The line under it counts this session’s deals spotted, bought and lost to faster buyers.
- ↻ Refresh: recheck every player target’s price now. Next to it, the countdown to the next automatic recheck (Auto price recheck in Settings, every 5 minutes by default).
- Reset counts: set bought, spent and listed back to zero on every target, so they buy again.
Prices keep up with the market
With Auto price recheck on, SnipeBid rechecks player prices on a timer, so each max buy moves with the market. This runs whenever you have targets and an active license, even when the bot is stopped. Items keep your own prices.
