3 snipers?

The following table has been reorganized and sorted into date order.  First
bid placed is line #1.  That should make it easier to follow the auction.
Two additional columns have been calculated and added.  They are the current 
bid and high bidder, as displayed on eBay after each bid is placed.        v2.1.08
* = Winning bid. (may be less than actual maximum entered.)

3 snipers jump final price 35% inside in 5 seconds! So how are snipers bad for sellers as the anti-snipers claim??? Interesting auction!

thank you puppy, you da man.

happy sniping

that snipers would still, bid, but in a more normal fashion (earlier) that would give more bidders the chance to run up the price. obviously if bidders didnt think that sniping kept the price down, they wouldnt bother, and would put in bids directly to ebay earlier.
