Sniping *can* benefit the buyer, price-wise.
However, your assumption
that late bids are always about the money just doesn't hold water.
Agreed. I snipe auctions because I specifically don't want other people to
monitor my ID and see what I'm bidding on. It has nothing to do with being a
cheapskate; I always think about a price for a minute, then set up the snipe
with my maximum bid (MAXIMUM, not $1 or something), then walk away.
