More nonsense. The sniper bid the most he's willing to pay, but still wins the item for a low enough price that they can resell for a profit?
Come back when you have an argument that makes at least a little sense.

Your responses unquestionably prove that you and sniping use a bully tactic. You are rude, offensive and non professional. I have no desire to engage in any type of discussion with you on this topic or any other for that matter.

Sniping deters a percentage of bidders who really would like to have the item and who are even willing to pay a little more to win it.

Is that my Q ?
You must have seen that among all the Pharties, I speak out against name calling more than most.
Joe didn't say " That's rude" , he " You are rude & offensive ", referring of course to The Dr.
( who BTW , I consider to be a regular too... )
So , Joe ..while I may not agree with everything you have to say , I will stand up for your right to say it , with the same vim & vigor that I also have for the Dr.'s right to express his opinion.
That being said , calling someone names is childish and out of line .
That kind of behavior is uncalled for in a public forum such as this and is best kept for the school yard at recess.
If you do not desire to have an exchange of ideas with a certain member , then just hit the " Ignore" link under his avatar and be done with it.
But don't answer him and call him names !!!
You owe the Dr. an apology !

last post, huh? We've heard that before...
Joe you were out of line, calling someone rude who has a different opinion than you, and komo, right on!
Sniping has been around since ebay began, I used to use it so I could buy what I wanted without staying up all hours waiting for a sale to end.
Just put in the amount I want to pay, and it does it's magic sniping in the last few seconds--doesn't mean I get the bid everytime, just meant I didn't have to haunt the listing for those last few seconds.
Doesn't change a thing to the outcome; as a seller, hey at least I sold it, whether I watched one lonely bid for a week or just a -whoosh- at the last minute.
and yes, you do owe this board and Dr S an apology, but it will be easier to stay away than humble yourself after that outburst.

Yes I totally agree, I understand wanting to wait to the last moment to bid but give all of us a chance to rebid, a minute with dialup might not be enough, I've had buyers complain to me about not being able to rebid, I try and enter my top bid when I first bid on an item. Thanks, Ron
