    Oh man I love sniping people on ebay. If it stays in my price range, I've never lost :D It'll get my adrenaline pumping sometimes. I have a system too involving two stopwatches and bidding where my bid goes in 3-6 seconds before the sale ends :) muahahahahahahahahaha

    Of course, I only bid on ebay stuff that I either really really want, or I require something and have to get it. It's been quite a while since I've played...I mean bought...on ebay.

    If you're playing poker and you can't spot the sucker, you are the sucker...
    Better luck next time.

    I use auction sniper. Would never bid without sniping.
    Matter of fact it irritates me when people get in bidding wars and push the price up.... which sometimes could be the sellers friends.
