My argument to that is that he's driving the price

getting nothing in return. It's just plain stupid.
The whole point of sniping is that noone knows you're doing it. From
the incrmental bidder's perspective, he's not "ruining it for the

waiting until 5 seconds before close to bid. To the sniper I say: tough.
