And yet, you're using a shady tactic to bid without giving others a

Here's a thought - decide what you want to pay for it, put in a reserve
bid, and wait for the email. If it's more than you wanted to pay, you
wn't get it. Everyone gets to decide how much it's worth, and the guy
who bids the most gets the item.

If everyone (including you) who bitched about sniping took your advice,
sniping wouldn't deprive the seller of anything, would it?

Exactly. The people who snipe make it so the people who don't snipe are
disadvantaged in the auction. Thank you for getting my point.

According to you:

The people who "place their max proxy bid late" make it so the people
who "place their max proxy bid early" are disadvantaged in the auction.

Yes. ROFL all you want, but the reason you're doing it (hypothetically,
of course) is to get the item without them having a chance to outbid
you. Tell me I'm wrong. It's all about you doing it to them so they
can't do it to you. Do you deny that?
