If I were bidding on an item that rarely came around and I couldn't be available to place a late bid, I might consider placing an earlier bid. But agree with you for the most part in that bidding early is unnecessary most of the time.

It's unfortunately how eBay is. I used to not snipe and I never won items if I bid too early, or I missed them completely if I couldnt get to my computer in time.
If eBay disabled the ability to snipe bids (if they even can is another story), then everyone would be on an even playing field. But I strongly feel that those that snipe (and do it correctly, doh!) are at an advantage.
If you can't beat, join them.
