Was this on your mondo set of lots that all ended at the same time?
Guess that it didn't prevent sniping (of one lot) after all. Bummer. my
condolences to the snipee.
Another idea along these lines is to announce in the setup that any and
all bids made in the last X time period of the auction can be topped by
the person who held the winning bid for at least time period Y just
before X, with no recourse to the snipers. (no idea what good values for
Y and X are, just yet)
What latitude exactly does the seller have to award the winning set to
anyone he chooses? As long as eBay gets paid, do they care?
