Reply to "The case for bidding manually first, then sniping."

Regarding reserve auctions, I don't think you'll get any disagreement. That's what most of us would do.

On your 2nd exception, I wouldn't disagree. I've been know to increase my snipe amounts. A purist would say decide max, place your snipe, and leave the snipe alone. I have to admit to being human some times. Also, I think on more expensive items, there's probably a greater chance of increasing the bid amount.

If you do place a manual snipe that blocks AS, AS will still charge you. Just wanted to be sure you were aware of that.
