ItalyGuy,
Might not be all that beneficial because of the following:
- There are several services and programs that place snipes – there’s even the old-fashioned manual method. So, since AS only knows about their snipes, it would be somewhat unusual for more than one AS sniper sniping the same auction.
- If the flag can exclude, then anyone would be able to determine if there’s another AS sniper, or competitor, that’s going to snipe. That information might cause one, or both parties to increase their snipe amounts, which could easily cause one party to pay more for the item. The whole reason for sniping is to avoid letting ANYONE know your intentions, or that you are interested in the item.
- Some people (of course, no one on this forum) might just sign up for AS and run searches just to see if any AS sniper was planning to snipe. Hell, even a proxy bidder or a shill might do that.
