Gixen forum3/31/2024 My only consolation was that the sniping bidder was going to have to pay a very high price for the item. Or does the snipe user have to specify a maximum bid in advance? I recall a number of times losing very desirable items by just one dollar to snipers, on which I'd placed what I thought was a fairly outrageously high reserve bid during the last few minutes of the auction. One thing that has always puzzled me about sniping programmes is whether they were actually able to "smart-snipe", that is, somehow read the highest reserve bid by existing bidders and outdo it at the last possible millisecond. I suspect there are fewer people sniping now, simply because there are fewer auctions on eBay, which is probably why some sniping services are starting to charge a fee per item won. I haven't bought anything on eBay at auction for a long, long time, but I used to do so many years ago, and snipers were a terror then.
