Well I'm not dumb enough to fall into a bidding war, so if the thinking that the "high bid wins" was correct then AS would be completely useless to me. If I didn't know that there is a real and practical value to slipping in my bid immediately before the close of an auction I might as well forgo this service.
Get real. Sniping is all about having the last shot, being the hammer. A well timed snipe doesn't guarantee a victory but it does provide an advantage.
