Years ago when I was still selling on Ebay, I had an interesting insight in the sniper mentality. The auction was for a Tatahouine, about 4-5 grams, very nice but not exceptional. With minutes to go, two guys got into a sniping war, I don't know if they were using a software or sitting in front of their computers but the batlle raged with bids coming in every couple seconds. And when it was over, the "winner" had just paid triple what a similar Tatahouine was priced at on my website. I admit that I had a good laugh on that!. Anne M.

But more often than not, ebay tells me the item went for $1 over my max. I don't particularly like the tactic of sniping, but hey... if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! Linton
