As long as I'm going to be around for the end of the auction I always snipe, and I do it manually. In part because it's fun. There's suspense involved in watching the auction end and getting ready to put your bid in at the last second. It's more enjoyable than just finding out that you won something (or not). This could be a time commitment if you buy lots of stuff, but I don't buy very many things. Won two auctions last month, only bid on a couple other ones, so it's not a big deal for me.
