So?  What's that got to do with sniping?   Sniping is a matter
of timing your bid.  You still bid a maximum price by sniping,
you just do it the last seconds.

Yes, it is simple but I bet you will end up paying more or
getting less lots on the average by "showing your cards"
early in the game.

I puzzles me that some people don't see how sniping
results in lower overall bids....  It is so simple and I am
surprised that some people just don't get it.
