I love sniping too. I would never bid on anything with three days left - that’s inviting someone to outbid you. But a simple fact - it’s not the last bidder who wins - it’s the _highest_ bidder. If you really wanted it, you should have bid more. That person who sniped you bid more than you did - that’s why he/she won. ---

If it’s that important to you why don’t you simply email the winner and offer a very healthy profit to them or offer to horsetrade if they collect the same “Bandstand Bears” for something you may have extra copies of or don’t want as much. ---

6 seconds? Pah. Mortal. I’ve gotten them 3 seconds before close in the past. But of course I don’t click the thing myself. There’s a handy little service what does that (link not included due to board rules on advertisement). The name of the program isn’t that hard to figure out… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/damn-you-to-hellllllllllll/142455.md?page=1)
