What is so bad about sniping? I don't think I have ever done it, but I'm
not sure I completely understand it. Is it like driving in the left lane
that you know is going to be closed in a half mile but you drive that lane
anyway and dodge in at the last minute?

| (...) What if bidding is perking along at a rate just short of lasting long enough to close down, and you run off the end of the time period? Whoever has it then wins. Back to where you were before. Snipers still can win. (25 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
