There's really no reason to bid early on something you want. The best course of action
is to wait til the last possible second and bid the most you're willing to spend.
Otherwise you are just allowing others to bid up the auction.

I only started sniping because, back in the early days of ebay, other people could see
what auctions you had outstanding bids on. Others were watching what I was bidding on and
outbidding me. I started sniping so that nobody could see what I was bidding on until it
was too late, and just kept up the practice because it forces me to bid and walk away.

Hey, who woulda thought that serious collectors are all auction snipers ;)
