Questions

The short answers.

Is it safe to buy a gift second-hand?

You buy on the marketplace itself, so its buyer protection applies: eBay Money Back Guarantee, Vinted Buyer Protection and so on. Check the photos and the seller's reviews as you normally would.

Will it arrive before Christmas?

That depends on the seller and the post. Hunting early gives you the most choice; Gumtree listings are often collection, which is quicker.

Which sites does Snipe watch?

eBay, Vinted, Gumtree, Grailed, Reverb, Back Market Pro, Apple Refurbished, refurbed, Cash Generator and more, 25 UK sources in all.

Is Snipe free?

Yes. Free gives you 3 hunts checked every hour. Pro adds unlimited hunts, price estimates and checks every few minutes.
