IMO, I'd bet those are the very rare exceptions that do this. Most of these are likely due to poor guessing on interest level - which is not an ethical reason for cancelling. I've never had one I was interested in cancel. But it would not be pleasing! ;) Report this Post to the Staff

That's what EVERYONE is doing these days, it seems like. So if they cancel because they're afraid they won't get they want, it's likely that they would have had the auction completed. ianmprice - it sucks for auctions to get cancelled, but it's only as frustrating as losing a coin at the very last second! =) Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe I'm off on interpreting what sniped means, but I thought it meant to wait to the last second to be the only bidder and bid the minimum opener only. Thus to keep from getting in a "bidding war" and pay much more than the minimum opener. I do that because often the minimum is about as high as I want to pay for the coin, and I know if I bid before 3 seconds to go then someone else will notice the coin - only after I open th ebidding that is - and outbid me. If I wait, no one else notices it or wants it - typically! Thus the cancelling does it's purpose of not allowing someone to win the bid with the minimum price. I have seen a few coins go where no one bids for the 6 days 23 hours 58 mins and then a flurry of bidding happens at the very end, but that seems to be the exception. When I look at the history on ebay, most coins just expire with no bids. But then most are priced, in BIN or minimum opener, unrealistically way over list/retail as well.
