most bidders use some kind of auction sniper. Then what? May the best sniper win?

Then, as ever, it's the highest bidder who wins - it's as simple as that. AS logs on as your agent and bids your snipe (which should be your max) on your behalf.

I have to disagree. While it seems like there are a lot of people using sniper services, I don't think 'most' bidders do. As a seller I see most of my buyer's winning bids placed hours before the auction ends instead of seconds.
Given the title of this thread, I think the original poster was asking what would happen if most eBay bidders used AS, rather than stating that it is already happening.

. Nothing thats not already happening. The highest bid wins, not the last. It would just make deciding your absolute MAX snipe, a whole lot more important as going back and adjusting it as the auction progresses would be a waste of time.
Really, I guess, it would be the Anal Snipers dream, set it and forget it. It would take a lot of the fun out of it and raise opening prices I believe.
Plus, make selling a much more nerve wracking, sweaty experience.
I think you would prolly see alot more BIN's

Really, R, that IS insulting!!! Lexie knows I would not say that to her and that was NOT what I was refering to. NOT FUNNY!

Or, maybe R needs to use his head.

You are plain goofy..just because you didn't get the joke, doesn't mean it was a boo boo, R. If I had anything nasty to say to Lexie, which I don't, I would certainly address her personally, not through you, R.

Slivers aren't much fun. No
