Sniping, it's SOP on Ebay. As is driving the price up when you have no intention of buying the product.
Welcome to the Internet.
I'm bidding on an auction for Bare Knuckle 3 on Ebay, I'm going on the site day after day to check on the auction. I've got the top bid for as long as the auction has been on, yesterday I log on with 10 minutes remaining, I'm still the top bidder, it goes down to one minute 30 seconds and I'm still the top bidder, I then log off thinking I've got this one in the bag.
I log on today and in my e-mail I've got a message from Ebay stating I've been outbid. I lost the auction.
Some SOB waited until the last second, practically, to put in his bid.
That sh** pisses me off, I feel like I've been robbed.
It's happened to me before, I might have to start doing the same.

Deal. If you want it that bad snipe it yourself. It's how I got my NGPC after I was outbid in the last 10 or so sec. I had a seperate browser open with my max bid in it, all I had to do was click ok, so I did and I won at the last second. Use your fucking head if it means so much to you to win.Originally posted by GameFreak
