[QUOTE="AngelKitty, post: 1466119, member: 37889"][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] I snipe (I really prefer "last-second bidding" :P) because: -I'm impatient. Too impatient to bid on something then wait several days or even hours to see if I've won. Silly, yeah, but it's just me. I only look at BIN's and the auctions that are ending soonest. If I see something really cool, I might watch it longer, but only if it has less than two hours left. -Bidding earlier gives others the chance to up their bid over mine, thus reducing my chances of winning or increasing my chances of paying more, even if those chances are only in my head. -I'm IMPATIENT, dangit. I blame ADD. I don't know if others' explanations have been the same, but those are my reasons. XD On an unrelated note, if it makes anyone feel better, sniping does make bidding difficult at times...like when eBay decides to log me out for no reason and I lose the item because of the time it took to log myself back in. >_> I've lost a few items like that. Go on, laugh. Yes, I mad, bro.[/QUOTE]
