(...) I've done it. Nothing to hide. It's just part of the ugliness that can be eBay. I bid over my dial-up home connection. So my response time isn't always guaranteed. I will sometimes snipe with 30, 20, or even 10 seconds to go. With the lag (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)

I've been sniped by the same guy multiple times, each time with about 5 seconds to go. I think they are using software which bids for them. The purpose of sniping is to conceal even your fair estimate in hopes nobody else will seriously value it (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) All you can determine is that the sniper's bid is $1 higher than your current max bid. Personally, I just bid what I want to bid for the item. I may re-evaluate later, but most times I bid up front. Of course this does give the sniper the (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) I concur--the fact that "sniping" can work at all suggests that the "sniped" bidder was withholding a higher bid in hope of scoring a deal; after all, one's bid is nominally the amount that one is willing to pay for the item, and if one it (...)

(...) Sure, it can happen. Waiting until three seconds are left is courting disaster what with the net lag demons, but that may be why it happened at 3 rather than 23 seconds. Heck, if I know I'm going to be around for an auction end, I'll put a bid (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)

She was shocked that an item could be sniped with only a second remaining in the auction. I (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)

(...) I've had it happen to me and I've done it before also. Once with just 1 second left. Now, no flames, I'm just playing the E-Bay game like a lot of others. I may not like it, but to win, sometimes you have to play just as dirty as others. (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)

It’s really not a big deal, but I was bidding on an item on Ebay and I was out bid, literally 3 seconds before the item closed. Is that even possible? Was it just extraordinary luck that the winning bidder clicked submit just under the wire or was (...) (22 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)
