You know, even live auctions can have "snipers".

My definition of 'sniper' is someone who places a bid so near to the close
of a fixed-ending auction that other bidders cannot respond to the new bid,
even if they want to.

In live auctions, you always have the choice to rebid.  Or not.

Not if you've been shot.  Snipers can ruin your whole day.

Where's that QOTD newsgroup?
