Personally I don't see the big deal about sniping.
I'm seldom around at the end of an auction to defend a bid anyway. When I
bid for items I think hard to myself just how much is this thing worth to
me. What is the absolute MAXIMUM I'd pay. Then I'll add a little bit more
and put in a bid. I'll then ignore the auction until the system tells me if
I don't even 'add a bit more'. I just bid the maximum I am prepared to
pay and that's it. Sometimes I win (meaning I've got something I want for
a price I was prepared to pay), sometimes I am outbid (which means
somebody else was prepared ot pay more). I don't see the problem.
