Sniping Does Not Require Justification!

Personally I don't snipe, I may well delay bidding till the last day, but generally I'll only bid if no one else has or it's a buy it now auction. I also don't sit watching the auction I'll wait for ebay's notification emails and generally these days I'll win. Cheers. Phill.
