What is more fun than waiting for that sniper to bid in the last few seconds. I am just guessing but I would say in my 10,000 + ebay sales snipers have made me an extra $100,000.00 in the last 10 years. Probably more.
eBay would not be any fun without them. If I sold new items and now what I wanted for them I would use Buy it now.

"99% of live auctions do that don't they?"
Do 99% of live auctions let you bid on an item for 7 days?
So if your going to make it like a live auction a 7 day auction can ONLY be viewed for 6 days 23 hours and 27 minutes NO bids and then open the bidding with 3 minutes left just like a live auction. When there is a 10-15 secs without a bid the item is sold just like in a live auction. Yea eBay is the same as a live auction NOT!

Pepsi: I have manually sniped an auction with 1 or 2 seconds left, putting in my highest proxy, and still lost out because of how quick the other, higher proxy will jump. And it's happened to me, too, as I've tried to win items.
