I always snipe. I put a price I am willing to live with on an item (plus a little extra sometimes to counter the missed it blues) and I walk away. This way I don't emotionally overbid on something. If someone has a higher price on an item, they'll get it and my snipe won't fly.

Bought lots of stuff this way, especially when I am bargain hunting for stuff below market.

Me too! it is the only way to do it. I haven't used it in sometime but i had Auction Sentry, an automatic sniping program use to send in 30 seconds before ending. Just put in what you are willing to pay days in advance and walk away. Will put in your bid if you haven't already been outbid. Easy Peasy.

I was surprised to see that this did not get sniped.
Winning bid was in long before auction end.

I was oscillating on bidding again but I have one already
