Couldn't agree more.

Ok, in the above example user B would've won whenever siweb's snipe was placed; but what if user B wasn't playing? User A placed a bid and wasn't winning so immediately bid again. If siweb's snipe hadn't already been placed (early) user A might well have sat back expecting a win and not placed that second bid.

Err... didn't the last bid win this auction?!
