Larrydavid cycle back is so right........sniping has created early ending auctions more than anything else.
Sniping used to be considered as unethical, now it is fashionable, the trend unfortunately is unexperienced sellers are seeing a lack of action early, I still believe e bay should offer a 2-3 minute extended bidding option at a small fee(for those worried that e bay is getting cheated with their fees!) only for those that placed a bid at some point, they would get the chance to this extended bidding time, legit collectors would have a good chance, sniping would be a thing of the past, and everyone would benefit except for those that are bargain hunters. Major auctions all do this and it is fair for those that participated during the course.
