I don't see how sniping cheats the seller. When I buy something at the last minute, it means that I have actually raised the bid to win the item. Ergo, the seller is receiving more money. In addition, aside from highly priced items, the HO scale items rarely have a reserve. By placing an item on Ebay without a reserve or the Buy It Now option, the outcome is in the hands of the buyers. That's why there are so many posts on here about ridiculous bids for low end models. <br />I don't mean to sound defensive, but I have tried placing bids for items whose auctions don't end for six days with no success. Also, if you just turned on the computer, got on Ebay, and looked at items ending. There's a gold plated Overland models (insert favorite model/road name) with one minute left, six bids, free shipping going for half of retail. Wouldn't you bid, and wouldn't that be sniping? <br />
