I used to lose auctions because either A) i lowballed or B) they ended at some absurd time (like 3am) or C) I wasn't home or D) the kids erupted at the auction end, etc.etc. AS and sniping changed it. First, I can bid my max and either I get it or I don't--no more "oh, just $1 more", etc.--i stay within my budget for that item. Second, I don't have to be home or have my computer on, its all taken care of. I didn't realize how much I had come to depend on AS until the outage in June--I was a WRECK that week! With toddler twins, I don't have that much time to spend sniping--what ebay time I get is either spent listing my own stuff or searching for items. AS takes care of it, and i am so grateful for it.

As far as people complaining about snipers, they have done that since ebay was created. Ebay isn't going to change the rules, and I say, Sniping with AS RULES.
