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...
One of my friends always says "You can either work with what you got,
or not."
I have a LOT of stuff, computer stuff and otherwise, that I wouldn't
have if Ebay didn't exist. It's never perfect and sometimes it's
infuriating, but it does get the job done.
