So, you're doing it so you will pay _more_ for his item? Oh please,
tell me how you come up with that one.
You make no sense what so ever here.
THe seller is not cheated because he is willing to sell at whatever
price he gets above the starting (or reserve ) price. He enters a
"binding contract" to do so.


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

That's horse****, every one had a chance to make their bids, they
CHOOSE to snipe and perhaps miss. NO ONE can snipe you out of winning,
if you bid the maximum amount you are willing to spend, as early as
possible. And doing that you don't get caught up in the heat of the
moment, spending $40 for an item that retails for 39.

And then, why do you snipe exactly? Since you can get what you want for
what you want to pay for it if you just bid that amount, as you suggest
others do?

What in the world makes you think I snipe??????? Just because I don't
think it is "shady"


Face it - you want to see how high it goes, and bid just high enough
above that to get it, without giving anyone else a chance to do the same
thing to you. If you claim that that's not your motivation, you're
either lying or delusional.
As I said, I bid the most I am willing to pay for an item at that
time. If later I have reason to increase that bid (such as loosing
another auction) I might increase it, but that is rare.
