Hi there,
A nuclear bid/snipe is where you place a ridiculously high bid to ensure you win no matter what.

Like an item worth $80 tops, you bid/snipe $200 to make sure you get it.

Aha! I did that and didn't realize it was a "nuclear" bid. The item was worth $5 and I bid $35 which was a ridiculous bid for the item, but I wanted it for a gift and got it for $5.50! So I was nuclear bidding with out knowing it.

Thanks. This is a really helpful place for newbies.
