Or, you could just bid on the damn auction and not try to cheat the
seller out of getting the right price. The only reason to snipe is to
pay less than you would if you were honestly bidding for the item. You
want the item, and you want to pay as little as you can for it. By
lowering yourself to using a sniping product, you're cheating the other
bidders out of the chance to bid legitimately on the item.

I do not see any cheating here. I submit a legitimate bid at a
legitimate moment. I do not owe the seller a duty of giving him as
much money as possible.

And yet, you're using a shady tactic to bid without giving others a
chance to make their bids.

Rubbish.

Don't you understand how proxy bids work?

The only folk who are being robbed of a "chance" are those who are too silly
to bid their final, honest amount - the aptly named
"clueless-newby-increment-bidders".

Nothing wrong with nudging them out.
