Reply to "Anti-Snipe Auctioneers"

I just finished reading this post, seems that there are a few "dipsticks" that don't like snipers. Oh well, their loss.

I haven't been sniping long BUT, I tried to snipe some velvet material. Velvet is usually quite expensive unless you can get it on sale. Anyway, I set my snipe for $50. For about 4 days, this material sat at $19.49 with 4 bids. I was definitely feeling that I would win this material "hands down." Here's what happened: the seller is disappointed because the fabric isn't selling like he/she wants and the current high bidder is thinking that they are going to win. Both go to bed. The next morning the seller gets ecstatic, the high bidder gets a major shock and the sniper cries! When AS placed my snipe, the price went from $19.49 to $51 and some change. Evidently the high bidder wanted the material worse than I did. But I sure wish that I could have been a fly on their walls to see the looks on their faces!

Six inches Lord, that's all I need!
