sniping auctions is the way of the online auction. it's reality deal with it. i don't like that i have to pay rent every month, but i still do. fact is, that if you see something you want with 5 days left and you bid right then and there, you are stupid. why start driving the auction price up early? sit and wait, ready to pounce, don't let on that you want the product or that there is bidding competition. just dive in with a couple minutes to go and go for the gold.
that being said, sometimes if there's something i really want, i'll just drop a maximum bid and leave it. if anyone outbids my max, oh well...
