that should read "...snipe at the end..."

No it wasn't a mistake, it was stupid but it wasn't a mistake. The bidding went like this
talk2bear bid $391.00 to start which brings the auction to it's minimum of $22.00.
lawr100_2005 began bidding to hit talk2bear's limit to either just barely over top him or set him up for a snip at the end of the auction, (notice he was bidding reasonably, he had no idea that talk2bear's limit was so _unreasonable_).
techguy129 stuck his nose in and got nowhere.
lawr100_2005 makes one more bid and gives up.
joehkg decides to snipe at the end with an amount that he thinks will win the bid (I'd guess $400), and defeat any counter snipe. Jesus look at talk2bears limit!!! [EMAIL PROTECTED] #%@ #%@

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
