E-bay sniping (was Re: Worst Ebay Seller of all time)

[Caveman]

Hmmmm.... just a question, what do you guys think that would happen if 
e-bay were offering "sniping" services themselves ? i.e. at the moment 
you want to place a bid, you get a menu asking:

a) place the bid now so that everybody can see it
b) place the bid now but do not show it to anyone and activate it at the 
auction's end
