(...) I agree sniping is part of the game. I am not always happy about sniping but I do have a concern with the use of software that jams other bidders from bidding on an item near the close of an auction. I have had this happen on several occasions (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Tough! Actually what really pushes up prices is when several people are going for the same stuff with a low patience factor. I'm sure prices of pirate ships fell once I was done buying.

(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.market.theory)

Moved to .theory in an attempt to not upset Kevin (and because .auction is only for auction ANNOUNCEMENTS) Hey I snipe. Everyone snipes. Sniping is the game you must play on ebay. 9/10 times I must snipe to win. I have a cable (cox) ISP and can (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Oh, it's not nearly as exciting as you might think it is. It's simply my old digital camera, which, due to an unfortunate interaction with a concrete driveway, no longer functions when the AC power is not plugged in. It is 1 megapixel, with a (...)
