Hey Chatter and Mickey! Just thought you should know I was a sniper virgin until 5 minutes ago. Won my first auction this way on an item I really wanted (and saved 60% off retail too!). I read your explanation with about 30 minutes left in the auction, adjusted my max bid to a unique increment, upped my lead from 6 to 12 seconds (Sunday 9:30pm auction close), and badda bing! I almost feel bad for the other contenders who were swapping the lead with manual bids. Don't I know the feeling to be in the thick of it and have it yanked away. But I think I'll only use sniping when I really gotta have something that I know I can get a fantastic deal on. The old way is still pretty fun too. Thank you sensei!
