Brian<<Let me preface this by saying I am in no way trying to be inflammatory and I respect both opinions. Isn't the idea of bidding on something to win it and win it for the least amount of money you have to pay and that the seller is willing to accept? If that is the case and sniping is permitted by the rules, where is the breach of ethics?>>
I agree with this. I am not running over grandmothers or deceiving poor children -- just bidding on auctions. I don't have the ability to set ebay's rules. I bid within the rules, set my own limits, and hide my bid until the last moment. Of the last 100 snipes I have set, only 20 or so have registered. I have won only 2 or 3 of those. Do I feel wronged by the winning bidders or the system? Nope.
Its all good Eric. I can respect your perspective. But its not like those of us that snipe are Dr Evil....
