*Exactly* right - nice post.
And to everyone complaining about losing auctions to snipers, just remember this - the sniper didn't win because he bid last, he won because he had the highest bid.
What I suspect is really the case is that these people are wanking because the sniper's late bid didn't allow them enough to incrementally up their bid "one more time". But if you don't understand how the eBay proxy bidding sytem is supposed to work, don't complain about the snipers.
