I did, in fact, use snipeswipe on that auction. But he had a higher

outbidding others so he could turn around and charge them more money
that it would have cost them if his sorry chemical composition was

After the auction, the high bidder had the gall to
email me to tell
me that he sells items of the type I'm interested in and that I
should visit his store.
This is the reason that I use "sniping" on ePay--waiting until the last
second or two to place a bid.
