basrah;
That "principle" does come up a lot, but I think it's more of a theory, or guideline. I have changed my snipe based on other bids, and because of specific competitors. I know of at least one other active member that admited they also have changed their snipe based on a competitor.

I have a feeling this happens more with snipers that deal in smaller markets where one sees the same handful of competitors. This might also be for items that cost more, or are collectables. I'm sure there's some snipers that never change their original snipe, but I'm also sure that it happens more times then anyone talks about.

P.S. This is not an endorsement for AS to added the # of bids. I'm of the opinion that AS should do what they do best - place snipes; and eBay should do what they do best - everything else.
