Default Snipe

What is an auction snipe? Help?--There are programs such as Gixen that I use whereby you can set a snipe or high bid on eBay auctions, sniping is perfectly legal/acceptable.

So if you see a 1954 Aaron you like with 6 days left or whatever and don't want to wait around you just simply place your snipe/high bid and the program will place your bid with 1-5 seconds left in the auction. This sniping allows you to place a bid at the last moment so no person will see your bid in enough time to counter it with a higher one. In theory you should win more auctions, and for a better price.
