Last night there were three auctions I was watching, all from the same seller. I had my snipe on two of the three. However, I chose to be a bit foolish and place a bid in earlier than I should for two of them and lost. I should simply have waited til the end, and gone to modify my snipes and make them slightly more. =( So I discovered that sniping actually IS a lot better than putting in bids in the last half hour or so. I think the best way to win is snipe at last few seconds, or put in a large bid amount from the start to discourage other bidders. It's all up to the person bidding, everyone has their strategy. But as I said before, mine does tend to vary. But thanks to AS, I did win the last of the three auctions. I simply put in a higher snipe for it, went to bed, and woke up to check my mail and find out I won! =) And whether fellow bidders feel I cheated them is up to them, but personally, I still feel it's not cheating, just playing the game.
