Re: OT Ebay Frustration

"Why place a bid and wait for someone else to push up the cost? "

So it's a technique to get the item at the lowest possible price.

If I'm willing to pay $100 and the next guy is only willing to pay $75, then I'm happy to get the thing for $76. Maybe I'm just too idealistic, but I think that $76 is what the seller is entitled to. That's how auctions are supposed to work.

In my idealistic view, sniping is just a way to rip off the seller. To answer another post below: yes, I think this is dishonest.
