<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1724677, member: 66&quot;]Ebay should guarantee that you win whatever you bid on without having to raise your bid?&nbsp; If you are interested, bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay.&nbsp; That&#039;s what the sniper who beat you did.&nbsp; The snipe bidder is NO DIFFERENT from the person who enters a max bid on eBays system and he has no advantage over them.&nbsp; Whether you enter a max bid three second after the auction starts or three seconds before it ends makes no difference to the max bidder or snipe bidder the result is the same.&nbsp; The only place the snipe bidder has an advantage is over the &quot;nickel and dime&quot; bidder who is trying to win as low as possible&nbsp; by slipping in a small increase whenever he is out bid.&nbsp; The nickel and dimer doesn&#039;t have a chance to slip in one more bid after the sniper&#039;s bid is placed.&nbsp; &nbsp; But that nickel and dime bidder CAN run a max bidders bids up so he has to pay more than he would have otherwise.&nbsp; This makes sniping a better strategy than early max bidding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
