coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 03/20/2009 02:07 am The main reason I snipe is when I want something in the middle of the night, or if someone has a lot of stuff ending at close times (reduced combined shipping and such).

Southern Yankee Pillar of the Community United States 891 Posts	Posted 03/22/2009 09:42 am I really see no difference in sniping or sitting at the computer and waiting till the last minute to put a bid. Snipping programs just do it for you. I have been on both ends of the sniping. Buying and selling. I just bid what I am willing to pay for the item and let it be. There are many more out there.
