Well, I would place early bids if ebay did not allow other ebayers to track your bidding. This was not a particularly well placed auction and there is one particular ebayer out there who is a fine person, but he is major competition for me and I don't want him knowing what I bid on until it's too late for him to do anything about it...that's why I snipe. For a short while last year ebay was not allowing people to track other ebayers bidding and during that time I placed all kinds of early bids. I still do place a few early bids, but that's usually on items that are in the right categories, already have bids, and I'm signaling my friends out there that I've seen the auction and they don't need to email it to me.
