The fact that 2 separate and distinct bidders bid the EXACT same amount secretly at the end of an auction raises my antenna. I have had some uneasy feelings about sniping in general. I was bidding on an item that was in the low $300s with 30 seconds or so left. My snipe bid was high at $620. At the very last moment, someone else bid and my final sales price was $618!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!??

Now I was fine in the sense that the bid was UNDER my top all but it was very strange that a card was at $300 one minute and then mysteriously jumped to RIGHT BELOW my limit right at the last few seconds. I was convinced they had hacked my snipe account.

I changed my password that night and have not seen anything near like that since.

Who knows?

Peace, Mike
