RobI manually snipe in the last 10 seconds when I REALLY want a card and if I can be around when the auction ends. Otherwise, I throw in the max I'm willing to spend and walk away. If i win, great.
I don't totally see the point that its unethical to snipe. You should put in your max bid, period. If someone has a higher max than you, then it doesn't matter whether they bid at the last second or 5 days before it ends.
Ebay set the rules, we just play by them.
