That was what I implied by "bid". A snipe is nothing more than a bid
that happens a short time before closing.
There are still some online auctions that extend the bidding every
time a bid is received (uBid, ISTR. I can't recall how OnSale
worked). Those can be very frustrating. You think you've gotten
something and the auction gets extended again and again...
