Russ Brightperpetuating this "wrong area post" sorry but...
Sniping is just the way it seems to work right now. I have had cards for sale that were under 100 dollars in the last 5 minutes and as the seller get antsy that it's so low, and some sniping happens and it's over 500 dollars and I'm happy.
The toughest part for sniping is those of us that DON'T have a lot of disposable income don't get to win a lot of cards as there are people (you KNOW who you are) that will put HUGE snipes in to assure their winning of cards - which drives the prices up...
I guess it's just that you sell something on ebay, you advertise for 7 days and the "live" part of the auction takes place in the last hour of your listing...
sad but true...
sniping is here to stay, and it WAS easier to win more when less people used proxy bidding and everyone started sniping...
