As a sniper type play bidder on occasion, I have won many and I have lost many to other snipers with a higher bid-- If U force me to pick a %--I will say that I have won bout 50% of the time--which is ok, because if it was a schill that sniped me, he over paid which makes me feel better knowing he is the fool this time, hehe I have also made bids when I know I will be AFK, so therefore no choice but to enter my highest price I will pay for item even if I would snipe at it, so it is a double edge sword IMO--
