The greatest challenge for a Snipe program is obtaining exacting performance from the actual Sniping feature. CJ 3.0 Introduced total Snipe Control with the most Power Features in any Snipe program. CJ 4.0 Expands on this exclusive ability and brings Snipe software full circle with incredible new technologies. Unlike competing programs and services, you do not choose a time amount to submit a Snipe then pray it doesn't take longer than what you choose. CJ 3.0 introduced Smart Snipe. One of its jobs was to make your Snipe time into a Target Time. Smart Snipe would perform tests and adjust your Snipe Time to align with current Internet/Ebay health. Literally 1000's of auctions have been one due to this feature. Literally 1000's of Snipes by competing programs have been lost because they do not have it.
CJ 4.0 is the most technologically advanced Sniper Program available to today. The CJ 4.0 Snipe Engine is idling now, waiting for you to rev it up! During testing several Snipes were scheduled to end within 1 second of each other. The CJ 4.0 Snipe Engine gobbled them up and asked for more!
During the designing of CJ 4.0 the Main Interface of the program was given the design name, "Mother Ship." Its real name is "Multi Snipe Engine." The Mother Ship has children and can communicate with its children (Active Snipes in the Snipe Queue). The children can talk to the Mother Ship and each can talk to the Snipe Engine. Together they make up your Snipe team. CJ 4.0 Introduces this new technology and with later Editions will expand on it.
The first Screen shot below of the Multi Snipe Engine shows a Snipe active and counting down. You are presented with the typical list format but you are offered much more...
Now take careful note of this: With the release of CJ 4.0 the program will come in two flavors. Standard and Deluxe. Standard Edition will Snipe one auction while Deluxe will offer multi auctions and the Watch or tracking feature.
All Cricket 3.0 Standard Edition users are able to upgrade to 4.0 at no charge. I want you have the latest and greatest interface.
If you have the need to set up more than one action at a time, all registered CJ users at the time of the final release can upgrade to Deluxe for $5. I will limit this upgrade special to 30 days from first day of final release. (You will be notified) The release price for the CJ 4.0 version will be $30. Here is my point. You buy and register the program now, you will release a savings of $10 on release of the final. When viewing the following image, notice the Tool Box and Options Tabs in the Snipe Window. These are custom drop down windows designed to bring total Snipe Control for each and every Snipe scheduled and in the Snipe Que. Below is a closer look at the CJ 4.0 Tool Box...View Image
There are actually two tool boxes, Options is the other, but lets discuss the most important one. Each Tool Box button in the screen shot below is addressed.

CJ 4.0 uses a lot of icons to inform you about what's what. Below is the icon legend. At a glance you can see what's up! View Image
So while the Cat's away, who's running the Snipe show? Why the little green bug that sits in the task tray is... The little CJ Icon is the front end to the CJ 4.0 program. He weighs in at about 91kb. Compare this to the current CJ 3.0 weighing in at a hefty 3MB! CJ 4.0 loads up when you boot your computer and will call up the Snipe Engine only when needed. With CJ 4.0 the program's foot print is very very small while program components are loaded only as needed.

The above images are just a small sampling of the new CJ 4.0. The last screen shot shows what happens when somebody tries to shut down your computer and Active Snipes are in the Snipe Queue. It has been estimated that there are now around 100 power features to the program. This would bring the cost of the Deluxe Edition to about $0.30 a feature and the 4.0 Standard Edition down to $0.15 a feature. Again, compare the program cost to the competitors at about $3.00 a feature.

With an estimated 100 more features then the closest competitor you get the best for the least!
