I consistently lose eBay auctions by amounts like fifty cents (lower priced items $10-$20 range). Almost always these are the direct result of some "snipe" software coming in at 2-3 seconds left to go in the auction. You wanna talk about irritation - that's irritation.

just need to do a maximum bid higher..no reason not to....if you bid 100 more than the next guy, you wont win the item by 100 on a 200 dollar card you will win by a dollar or 2...

unless of course there are two bidders with the same strategy and then one of the two will pay the extra hundred.
