I was a "sniper-objector" before, but I finally got tired of chasing a card into the last seconds only to see a sniper outbid me, having the computer freeze, etc. I use a service now. It saves me a ton of trouble. And, take it from me, I am just as happy to win a card with a snipe bid as I am with a bid made manually.

I agree that it is great fun to go digging (wish I was at the national--geez I wish I was there, but no $$) but that experience has no relationship to ebay. The better analogy is an auction (albeit a slightly crooked one). You don't exactly get the fun of the find there, either.
