Reply to "Closing snip"

bjtMember

I am not so sure I save money every time I snipe. To be honest, I think I end up paying what I call
"fair market value" - the price people were generally willing to pay for that item.
Sure, there are times that for whatever reason, I get a deal, but I think it is more due to the fact that like in a "live" auction, some days you get lucky.

Where I actually save money is on the occassional "Buy It Now" feature. When a seller places an item up and doesn't really understand it's value and I end up purchasing it at a great price.

For me, I snipe to win. I feel that by placing my highest bid at the last possible moment allows me to bid unchallenged.
I am not as worried about saving money as I am about winning the item.
I know that I will probably end up not getting a deal, but I will most likely win the auction, and that's why I snipe.
