Joe D.you don't have to wait around for the last minute of an auction... just set your snipe and forget it.
I snipe just about everything.
And its not about winning the cards (for me). Its about the convenience of not having to do what Brian is talking about.
The day I wasted an afternoon (and missed my son's little league game) waiting for the last minute of an auction.... only to lose my internet connection for a few minutes and not even have the opportunity to bid... and then see that the item sold for less than what I would have bid... that was the day I signed up with a snipe service.
I love it now. Just set my snipe and if I win - great. If not, no big deal. Better than putting in a huge max bid on eBay because you can change your snipe up until a few minutes before the auction. You can't do that with an eBay bid.
Anyway - snipe.
