Do you think the amount of sniping has any effect on shill bidding? If no one sniped, then the shill bidder has more of a chance to up the bid without getting stuck. If everyone sniped, then I would think the shill bidder's risk of getting stuck would be much greater since they have less information in which to gauge the amount of interest. Assuming of course that the shill bidder doesn't want to get stuck with the item.
