New rule
I am one of the guys who waits until the last minute to bid on an auction. I determine what I bid based on what I think the card is worth to me. There have been several times in the last three months when I have placed a bid on this site way over the underbidder and won. I would have saved money under the proposed change to the rules. However, I can see where my gain would be at the seller's expense. I hope that the seller is happy with the sale, too, and he will continue to offer items to bid on.
I also enjoy the rush of bidding at the last minute. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Maybe I am wrong, but I don't consider it sniping if you are present online and you place your bid as the clock runs down. Sniping, to me, is placing a bid through a service that bids for you in the last seconds of an auction. You don't even have to be online at the time the clock runs out. Where is the excitement in that?
I recommend we leave the rules the same.
Best regards,
Joe
