I've gotten egg on my face... twice... about that. I find an item I want, I
set up a snipe bid and walk away. That's the nice part of the automated
snipe services, I can forget about it and wait till the "you've won" or
"you've lost" email hits my mailbox. I don't go back and constantly
watch
it.
A couple of times, a friend emailed me "hey, why did you snipe it from
me?"... the truth is, I didn't even know he was bidding - he wasn't bidding
when I set the snipe bid. :\ Guess I should try to remember to mark them
with a low bid.
