<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 334852, member: 6370"]It doesnt have to be a part of ebay...which is my point...and again, the max I am willing to pay may change if I am out bid. The max I put in might have been the max I was willing to pay at the time. Maybe I would be willing to throw away...if pushed...another 5 bucks above what I thought would be my max.</p><p> </p><p>I dont see how I am trying to win every auction cheaply if, as everyone seems to agree (myself as well), that this feature would cause realized prices to be higher as people now have a chance to counter snipe bids. If I wanted to win every auction on the cheap I would SNIPE!!</p><p> </p><p>What I would like to see is SNIPERS not winning everything on the cheap and stop auctions from being 5 seconds long (after 6 days of nothing) because everyone is sniping in the last seconds. A normal auction where people have a chance to counter bids....given the logic I am reading here...why do people snipe? Why dont THEY just put a max bid in up front when they find the item and not in the last second....because they are trying to win every auction on the cheap. Understandable and in all cases this idea wouldnt make all things more expensive...it hasnt on forum where I just recently bought a coin.</p><p> </p><p>But as I said before, this would help sellers and buyers as well. It seems to work fine on other sites, ebay should adopt it as well and end this 5 second hyper auction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
