  Re: Ebay sniper? you make the call
 
(...) Well, yes, it is like the game of 'chicken'. It can be spectacular. Recently the other sniper was only going $5 over the minimum bid (which I was doubling)... suffice it to say there was a lot more than $20 at stake. (22 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction)
 
  Re: Ebay sniper? you make the call
 
(...) Yes, there is an auto-sniper program. A bidder used it in one of my auctions recently. Then the auto-bidder program had the audacity to *spam* me with a brag that it just won the auction for it's bidder and boy wouldn't I like to use it. I'll (...)

  Re: Ebay sniper? you make the call
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Ebay sniper? you make the call
 
(...) 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 (...)
