AS no advantage over proxy bids. I despair

perludumMember

I have been using AS for several months now. I have won some but I have lost a lot more than I have won. Nearly every time it is because I am outbid by an EB proxy bid that was placed days earlier. However, I don't know about this competition because no one else is bidding on the item. The bid price appears deceptively low until the last few seconds. Sure my snipe is the max I am willing to pay for the item so I lost because of that. But can somebody please explain to me the advantage of using snipes (and paying for the service) over posting a maximum proxy bid on EB. Because right now I fail to see why I should bother. Thanx.
