Snipers aren't bad at all. An item is for sale, It is a week away until the end of the auction. You set your maximum $ you want to pay for the item and the program does the rest. You don't have to be sitting at the computer as the auction ends either. You could be visiting grandma or at the movies.... If someone has bid or bids higher via their snip program they get the item. It's that simple so what is the problem?

Same way if I'm at an auction in person. I always set the price I want to pay and NEVER go over that price. Don't make it a personal thing if someone out bids you. If you went to the price you wanted to pay to and someone else won it than be happy and move to the next item you want to purchase.....
