counterproductive for the user bidding and just about everyone else.
That's not entirely true. Non-snipe bidding is good for finding out
_early_ whether or not someone has deeper pockets than you...so you can
bug the wife for more cash :)
I can't speak for the originator of the thread, but I was more referring
to the two people who get into a bidding war three days before the
auction ends. It happens a lot, and much of the time, both of the
people forget about the auction anyway, and neither of them get the item.

You missed
what he said. He was encouraging people to snipe. He was
against people bidding *before* the last 30 seconds.
I'll bid anyway, anyhow,
anywhere I please....
