There have been many times that I have sniped 
auctions, and I will continue to do it. Do I feel 
bad? No. :P

But I agree with you, Wendy. What I hate is when 
people walk up the bidding by the minimum bid 
over and over until they win.  On the very rare 
instances when I do bid early, I gleefully wait 
for the last 10 seconds and bid again against 
that person because I *know* I can beat them with 
a simple bid of as low as 1.01 :P  It's because 
of those who practice this that have lef me to 
bid at the last possible second, even if it leads 
me to missing out on a cel or two because the 
seller ended the auction early. ;P
