true. it's wasn't the $2 that irked me. it was coming in 5 seconds
before the end of the auction.
I don't mind being out bid. I mind not being able to big again.
Look, this is eBay we're talking about. This is nothing new.
Try the VCM if you don't like sniping. And encourage sellers who have
stuff you like to use it instead of eBay. Then you have a much better
marketplace.
If sniping was bad for eBay they would have made it irrelevant a long time
ago.
