I don't see what the big deal is about "snipers" on ebay, anyway.  If you
bid the most you're willing to pay, then it doesn't matter if a 'sniper'
outbids you -- it's still going for more than your budget.  If people
think it's more exciting to "snipe", they can go ahead -- I'd rather not
have the stress.  I can deal with the frustration of being outbid on
occasion.
