Exactly. The people who snipe make it so the people who don't snipe are

Then, go and sign up for a snipe. I figure that I save money because of
using bidnapper. I am happy with it.

It is far better than proxy, because a proxy can be run up by a totally
clueless newbie who just wants the item at any price, and then the price is
driven up early. Most times by someone who doesn't end up winning.

Sniping works EXACTLY as proxies do. You put the maximum you will pay into
the system, and if you are high, you get it. It just doesn't do it early
enough to allow bidding wars and clueless newbies to mess things up.

HTH, but I doubt it. You seem pretty angry about snipers. I'll bet you
don't snipe. If you did, you would know what smoke you are trying to blow
in people's faces.

Or you are just a troll.
