Ah, all the sniping services I've seen just jack the bid up by a set
incriment

*instantly* instead of in incriments, nailing your highest at the last

takes time, and it most likely won't hit your max during that last single
minute, heh
If a sniper service works like that then it's foolish and retarded. The
main reason I use a sniping service is to manage my bids for me. First of
all, for all the obvious reasons, bidding anytime before the imminent end
of an eBay auction is pointless. Second, I submit what I'm willing to
pay, and the sniper gets my bid in at the last possible reasonable second.
If I win, great. If I win for less than what I was willing to pay, even
better. If I don't, terrific! I saved my money for a rainy day.
