There were other bidders involved days ago... I went ahead and threw my hat in the ring.
Just because it's legal to do doesnt' make it right. As for my "proxy bid" yeah... you always put in your "max bid", but how many of us would bid $5 more if you knew it would be yours? If you were willing to pay $400 for something and someone came it last second and beat you with $405, would you go to $406? It's the point of the matter... I was winning the bid (and I mentioned FIRST THING in the thread header that I was just bitching, no drama here, k?) and some dickweed comes in with 5 seconds left and outbids me... I just hate it, that's all. I don't think snipers should be allowed. Furthermore, I gave a VERY viable solution, that not only protects the interests of the bidders, but ALSO makes more money for both ebay (who takes a commission of the sale price) and the seller (who profits from the sale).
As I said post #1, words 1 and 2.... just bitching.
