If you use sniping to keep the seller from what he'd get if everyone had

less than he would have otherwise.

Every one still has an equal chance! Everyone knows when the auction
ends, including the seller. If he wanted a different type of auction,
he is free to find one.

I do think the idea someone raised, of extending the auction by 15 min
if there are bids in the last few min to be a good one.
