Perhaps not...the point of a snipe bid is it doesn't give the system enough time to log the bid AND check if it is higher than the next bid...By the system registers the bid and his higher bid is returned it's to late the auction is over...leaving his automated higher bid hanging in cyberspace



Not if you already have a higher registered bid in ebay. Ebay wil ALWAYS recognize the highest registered bid. That's the whole point of ebay proxy bidding. Unless you're talking about using a program outside of ebay to do your bidding...

I always thought the point of a snipe bid was to get the item cheaper by not driving the price up sooner. Not to try to confuse the system. For some reason I think the ebay sofware is a little more sophisticated than that.
