Whatever you call the stuff I collect, I can\'t even find rare or unusual stuff very often on ebay anymore. 99% of what I see is either less than 10 years old or extremely common. I do my 50+ searches once every six days and I more often than not find nothing I want to bid on. I\'ll watch items I already have but usually only find maybe two items a month to bid on. <img src="forum/images/smilies/frown.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Frown" class="inlineimg" /></div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Rob,<br />\r\nYou are absolutely correct.  "high quality Stuff" is a relative term.  A rare SF pin may be a holy grail to you, but not to me.  I meant no disrespect to anything anyone collects.<br />\r\nMy point is that sniping isn\'t the reason stuff doesn\'t seem to be as commonly found on ebay.  I think your situation is a little different than my example.  Your SF collection is so advanced that the things you needs are going to be really really rare.  Even if they aren\'t super expensive, the likely hood of you finding these things is small regardless.  20yrs ago, when ebay first started, I would be willing to bet,you had a much larger want list then than now. It stands to reason the more advance a collector or collection the slower it can be added to.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				My signed 1934 Goudey set(in progress).<br />\r\n<a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsjFuyogy" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/s/aHsjFuyogy</a><br />\r\n<br />\r\nOther interests/sets/collectibles.  <br />\r\n<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96571220@N08/albums" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/96571220@N08/albums</a><br />\r\n<br />\r\nMy for sale or trade photobucket album<br />\r\n<a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk7c1SRL" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/s/aHsk7c1SRL</a>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1426709" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1426709 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1426709_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">Lordstan</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=2388">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=2388" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to Lordstan</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=2388" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by Lordstan</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1426709 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1426709 -' + '->';

Not to sound arrogant but there are just certain pieces we need that are worth overpaying for.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nI know a few collectors who snipe $2000-4000 on every item, even ones which are worth only a few hundred dollars. Why?  Because they are playing a game of Russian roulette that you won\'t be as crazy as them.  This ensures they get that piece by paying $10-20 more than you.  They can get away with that only because of the hard-ending.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nSome of the reasons given above for snipe bidding should apply to auctions with a soft-ending too. Yet action on auctions with a soft-ending is much better throughout the listing period. Take a look at the current Leland’s auction.  Why the difference?

What happens if 5 items, ending around the same time, all valued at $400 wind up close to their max for one reason or another?  Are they going to be happy shelling out $10K min for items worth $2K?  I doubt it, but if they have the money to waste, good for them.<br />\nHere is a personal story regarding this situation.  I was bidding on a 1934  Signed Goudey of KiKi Cuyler, a few years ago,  I figured it was going to take around $1200-1400 to win it.  I bid a little early and was winning at $1200 with 2min to go.  All of a sudden I am second.  I was the only person who bid again up until the end and I bid 4 more times to take the price up to $1960.  I just couldn\'t let myself go higher and lost it.  The person who won it, must\'ve been like your friends, set a really high bid to make sure he won.  Do you really think he thought it was going to go for $1960?  I doubt it, but he took a chance.  The best part for me is that I won a better quality Cuyler signed card about 6months later for $400 less.<br />\n<br />\n2) You must bid early in soft ending AHs so that you can bid in the extended bidding time period.

I think your situation is a little different than my example.  Your SF collection is so advanced that the things you needs are going to be really really rare.  Even if they aren\'t super expensive, the likely hood of you finding these things is small regardless.  20yrs ago, when ebay first started, I would be willing to bet,you had a much larger want list then than now. It stands to reason the more advance a collector or collection the slower it can be added to.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Very good points.

In retrospect, I am glad I did not win and pay that much for a trophy that generally sells in the $3500 range. This may have been the case where snipes actually helped an auction out?<br />\n<br />\nSniping is just another method of bidding strategy. Sometimes you win and the price is good for the buyer and bad for the seller and sometimes vice versa. I do not think sniping is bad for the hobby as prices and bidding always find there market value generally speaking. <br />\n<br />\nPersonally I believe nothing is killing the hobby.

I suppose MY problem is determining exactly the highest amount I am willing to pay or the &#8220;that&#8217;s enough not 1 penny more&#8221; point as you have described.    BUT maybe that is just me and most everyone else finds that as EASY as you describe it.  I admit I am flawed &#8211; call me human.  My recent experience that I described is unique and specific (its not always as clear as $1 more will win it).  Do you think I should have not bid the extra $1? (BTW  - I am looking at the item now on my desk and really glad I won it).<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBut let me ask you this again?     You go through your thought process to come up with your highest amount, following the steps you described for an item you really want. You&#8217;re perfect so you know you have confidently figured out your highest amount, because it is an exact science they way you described it.   You snipe your bid and are losing but realize if you bid 1 penny more you would win it&#8230;would you bid the extra penny?   You don&#8217;t have to answer because I am sure your response would be your bid would have already thought about that penny.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nHow many people out there have set a snipe bid and change/raised it at some point?<br />\r\n<br />\r\nEdited to add:  BTW, Travis, please don&#8217;t take my sarcasm as criticism, just provocative to stir the debate.

No doubt about it... But I believe sniping has little (if anything) to do with it. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI believe the two biggest reasons are as follows...<br />\r\n<br />\r\n1.  eBay has reached A LOT of incremental people over the past decade.  And with regard to the rare/high quality pieces, collectors tend to stash these items away and keep them in their collections.  Therefore, there is just less of the good stuff out there and less available for sale than before.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\n2.  Ebay\'s fees and other recent policies have all tended to assist the Buyer (rather than the seller).  They\'ve contunually jacked up their fees, made PayPal an expensive requirement, and have made the feedback system a joke (in which only Sellers can be rated).  In disputes, they almost always side with the Buyer over the Seller.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nFor those reasons, I never sell on eBay anymore.  It has zero to do with sniping...

Whether or not one thinks it\'s ethical, if a $500 item is stuck at a 99 cent bid on day five, many sellers will start entertaining reasonable offers.  This is particularly true when they were previously burned by auctions where snipe bid never materialized in the last two seconds and the items sold for cheap.<br />\n<br />\nI put up a somewhat valuable item item for 99 cents on eBay with $5 shipping.  It sold for $15.  The shipping was $17.50.  I wasn\'t about to end the auction once there was a bid and the winner had bought valuable items from me before so I\'m not complaining and I\'m happy for his business, but this is why I rarely do auctions on eBay and have no intention to in the near future.  It\'s all BINs for me with no apologies.<br />\n<br />\nDo I think sniping in part messed up eBay auctions and contributed to the scarcity of auctions and the abundance of BINs? Yes, I do.  I believe it very firmly.  Do I think sniping was a reasonable reaction to shill bidding and eBay protecting shill bidders?  Yes.  Something can be messed by multiple forces.  Though I do know if sellers thought they\'d get fair prices via eBay auctions there would be more auctions and fewer BINs.  Most sellers would be much prefer to have their items sold at fair prices in a week, rather than sit around as BINs.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by drcy; 06-25-2015 at <span class="time">10:06 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1424860" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1424860 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1424860_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">drcy</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=321541">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=321541" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to drcy</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=321541" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by drcy</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1424860 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1424860 -' + '->';

No doubt about it... But I believe sniping has little (if anything) to do with it. <br />\r\n<br />\r\nI believe the two biggest reasons are as follows...<br />\r\n<br />\r\n1.  eBay has reached A LOT of incremental people over the past decade.  And with regard to the rare/high quality pieces, collectors tend to stash these items away and keep them in their collections.  Therefore, there is just less of the good stuff out there and less available for sale than before.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\n2.  Ebay\'s fees and other recent policies have all tended to assist the Buyer (rather than the seller).  They\'ve contunually jacked up their fees, made PayPal an expensive requirement, and have made the feedback system a joke (in which only Sellers can be rated).  In disputes, they almost always side with the Buyer over the Seller.  <br />\r\n<br />\r\nFor those reasons, I never sell on eBay anymore.  It has zero to do with sniping...

We snipe bid to avoid "ANY" competing bid, even legitimate ones.  It is exploitation of a flaw in eBay\'s auction system.  Correct me if I\'m wrong but it is the only auction house in history to function this way.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe purpose of an auction is to sell an item at fair market value.  How does a flurry of snipe bids in the final 10 seconds determine fair market value?  Now there are some items, say a 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 7, that the market value is pretty well established.  But how much should someone pay for an 1894 Varsity Yale Football Pach Bros photo?  Our hobby needs the back-and-forth of bids to determine that.

We snipe bid to avoid "ANY" competing bid, even legitimate ones.  It is exploitation of a flaw in eBay\'s auction system.  Correct me if I\'m wrong but it is the only auction house in history to function this way.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe purpose of an auction is to sell an item at fair market value.  How does a flurry of snipe bids in the final 10 seconds determine fair market value?  Now there are some items, say a 1968 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 7, that the market value is pretty well established.  But how much should someone pay for an 1894 Varsity Yale Football Pach Bros photo?  Our hobby needs the back-and-forth of bids to determine that.  That is healthy for our hobby.</div>\r\n			\r\n		</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>Heritage Auctions owns Gavelsnipe.com and you can bid/snipe (maybe) in Heritage from their sniping service.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nAnd, to me, the flurry of snipe bids is true market. (unless they are shills). I only put in snipes ( I snipe 98% of the time, the other 2% I want the adrenaline rush) when I want something, and absent fraud, others do the same thing. How can that not be true market? In reality no auction in the world has 100% of interested buyers in their auction.  I bid in a ton of auctions, ebay and otherwise....and help run a small auction company, so have my own views.....

People in this very thread have said that. So clearly sniping lowers prices.  And it\'s not just a matter of shilling (which I don\'t deny is a legitimate problem), but people here have said they do it due to other legitimate bidders. They believe other bidders (and I\'m talking about honest ones) will bid more and raise prices if they see their bids in the middle of the auction as opposed to when they\'re snuck in at the end and don\'t have a chance to react.  Call it psychological bidding if you wish or people bidding more when they\'re emotionally invested in an item they\'ve bid on or being irrationally exuberant or having more time to think if they are willing to place an extra bid, but that\'s a part of how people bid. People are psychological animals not robots and often will bid more than they would have if they someone has out bid them.  Remove shilling and have only legitimate honest bidders participating in the bidding process and people would still place snip bids to get lower prices.  The reason why auction houses have 10 or 15 minute rules is because bidders will reconsider what they\'re willing to bid and sometimes raise their bids when given a few minutes to think about it-' + '- something that snipe bidding eliminates and is designed to eliminate.  The idea that sniping has no effect on final pricing is, quite simply, wrong-' + '- and I\'m talking here about auctions where there is no shilling.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by drcy; 06-26-2015 at <span class="time">09:08 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1425124" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1425124 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1425124_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">drcy</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=321541">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=321541" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to drcy</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=321541" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by drcy</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1425124 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1425124 -' + '->';

Back in the day I would just put in my secret highest bid. On several occasions I would wake up in the morning and get two different emails. One said "you were outbid". The next would say "you won!". WTF? I went back and would see a bidder top everyone and then retract his bid and rebid just under my secret high bid. <br />\r\n<br />\r\n After that I would sit at the computer for every auction I wanted to bid in, wait until the last second and pop in my high bid. So esnipe was a great idea.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n The other reason I wait until the last second is because some people don\'t put in the time and effort to research some items. They just look at what everyone is bidding on and jump in. I\'ve won many auctions with only my bid because I spent a lot of time researching something to find out it was a great deal. I spent the time, I reap the benefits. If I were to bid on it the first day its like sending up a flag that this is a good item to bid on.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				My life didn\'t turn out the way I expected...Roy Hobbs<br />\r\n<br />\r\nBaseball\'s hard.

I snipe because it prevents me from getting emotional about an item.  By bidding the most I\'m willing to pay at the very end, allows me to stay within my budget and either win or lose without regret.  I never assume my bid will win it more cheaply than my max.  If it does great.  If it doesn\'t that\'s OK too.  It\'s not my fault others don\'t bid at the end the same way.  If they do, the final price isn\'t very likely to be lower at all.<br />\n<br />\nI think the reason there is less stuff on ebay is because they have made it a very unfriendly place for small sellers.  Sure, if you\'re KHW or PWCC or Probstein, you can still survive quite well because of the volume, but ebay is trying to be Amazon.  This has made it virtually impossible for the collector who sells so he/she can buy to be able to sell cost effectively.   The higher fees and strangling rules, not sniping, have made guys like Mark(perezfan) and others, who have high end items they may want to move to buy something else, no longer chance selling on ebay outside of BINs at prices that factor in the extra fees.\r\n		</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / message -' + '->\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- sig -' + '->\r\n			<div>\r\n				__________________<br />\r\n				My signed 1934 Goudey set(in progress).<br />\r\n<a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsjFuyogy" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/s/aHsjFuyogy</a><br />\r\n<br />\r\nOther interests/sets/collectibles.  <br />\r\n<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/96571220@N08/albums" target="_blank">https://www.flickr.com/photos/96571220@N08/albums</a><br />\r\n<br />\r\nMy for sale or trade photobucket album<br />\r\n<a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsk7c1SRL" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/s/aHsk7c1SRL</a>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / sig -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n\r\n		\r\n		<!-' + '- edit note -' + '->\r\n			<div class="smallfont">\r\n				<hr size="1" style="color:#D1D1E1; background-color:#D1D1E1" />\r\n				<em>\r\n					\r\n						Last edited by Lordstan; 06-26-2015 at <span class="time">09:09 PM</span>.\r\n					\r\n					\r\n				</em>\r\n			</div>\r\n		<!-' + '- / edit note -' + '->\r\n		\r\n\r\n		<div style="margin-top: 10px" align="right">\r\n			<!-' + '- controls -' + '->\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				<a href="newreply.php?do=newreply&amp;p=1425132" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/buttons/quote.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" border="0" /></a>\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			\r\n				\r\n			\r\n			\r\n			<!-' + '- / controls -' + '->\r\n		</div>\r\n\r\n	<!-' + '- message, attachments, sig -' + '->\r\n\r\n	</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- post 1425132 popup menu -' + '->\r\n<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_1425132_menu" style="display:none;">\r\n	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">\r\n	<tr>\r\n		<td class="thead">Lordstan</td>\r\n	</tr>\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?u=2388">View Public Profile</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?do=newpm&amp;u=2388" rel="nofollow">Send a private message to Lordstan</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=finduser&amp;u=2388" rel="nofollow">Find all posts by Lordstan</a></td></tr>\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	\r\n	</table>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-' + '- / post 1425132 popup menu -' + '->\r\n\r\n\r\n	</div>\r\n	\r\n		</div>\r\n	</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / close content container -' + '->\r\n\r\n<!-' + '- / post #1425132 -' + '->';

			There are 3.5 million items on eBay under the 'Sports Memorabilia, Cards and Fan Shop' category, yet only 101k are auctions. That means 98% of all sports memorabilia listed on eBay are BIN.  Hard-endings is a primary reason for this shift.<br />
<br />
Regarding AH action, almost all require a bid 24 hours before the soft-ending. That doesn't explain the action 2-3 weeks beforehand.
