<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 166323, member: 3813&quot;]That&#039;s fine (and I understand that) but that&#039;s not the same thing as saying, &quot;sniping is for people who bid on half of the coins on ebay with the purpose of getting a low price to resale&quot; or &quot;its for people who are just trying to eek a few bucks off of coins&quot; or &quot;it just seems like a lazy thing to do&quot; or for people who don&#039;t care what they are bidding on.&nbsp; I (a people) don&#039;t use it for that purpose, and although some might, it&#039;s probably not the majority or even a high percentage (though I honestly haven&#039;t asked anyone, let alone everyone who snipes so I really can&#039;t speak for them).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s $5 a month, and while I feel it&#039;s worth it, I completely understand that others may not feel that it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, what you are describing is the nature of the beast for timed auctions.&nbsp; I think you&#039;d be happier searchign for &quot;buy it now&quot; items.&nbsp; Fixed price, no one &quot;taking it from you.&quot;&nbsp; You may pay more, but you will get the item.&nbsp; To me, paying that extra isn&#039;t worth it (but like I said, some may feel that the $5/mo. I spend isn&#039;t worth it).</p><p><br /></p><p>People get hung up on the time with timed auctions, but you have to realize that if there was another winning bid, and you submitted a higher bid and are now winning the auction (regardless of how much time is left) then you &quot;took it from someone else.&quot;&nbsp; I&#039;ve found that for the most part, even if you bid high, you still stand a good chance at winning the auction for less than the fixed buy it now listings, or coin shop prices.&nbsp; Even so, there is always the chance that someone will be willing to pay more than you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
