    Speaking as a sniper, I bid to win at the lowest price possible, but I still bid to win. I don't bid to "get a deal". If I am sniping something, I am there to win. I set my snipe appropriately, usually high market value, or sometimes a ridiculous amount if I simply must have it. It is rare that I don't win an item I snipe.

    I agree but it's also nice that they've essentially red flagged themselves.

    Weren't you supposed to be in desperate need of money to have your jaw wired shut or something? I'll chip in for that as long as it means your hands become inactive too.

    An unlikely scenario, but still possible if you misread the ad, etc.
    I hope this happens to any jerk like the OP who shill bids up an auction. Karma is a bitch.

    This is why eBay's system needs fixing.... Yahoo Japan, on the other hand, is almost perfect in that if someone enters a high bid in the last minute, the auction gets extended 5 minutes, up to a limit. That way, people who want to bid the highest bid, win. As in a regular auction. Not like a game of Wild Gunman as eBay is.

    I always thought ebay should do this. Extend the time by 5 minutes, then 4 minutes (if needed), etc., etc., until it goes to just one minute(like a final call) and then it is over.

    Or, just extend the time by one minute every time someone bids in the final minute. It would be like a real-life auction that way.

    You're right. Has to be them. Not the people who buy it from a thrift store for 50¢, then sell it on ebay for $80, forcing people who want to own the game to pay full price.

    You wonder why people get angry over this? You're screwing over collectors who truly want the games they're bidding for. Sometimes forcing them to bid higher than they wanted for a title they're after. One thing is sniping for a product you are desperate to get, another is making a game over someone elses stress. Although Ebay may be fun, it's not a game to some people, you're playing with people's emotions and possible collections.

    Geeze, I hate people that inflate prices! Got a hole burning in your wallet? Don't make a $150 game $400, buy three games at freaking $150!
    Real collectors drive Hondas, Toyotas, Chevys, Fords, etc... not Rolls Royces.

    I understand this, but it had nothing to do with games, nor would I do it to any game collectors, it had to do with a few people involving dvds who would purposely outbid people because they didnt like them. Therefore I took it into my own hands to try and pay them back the easiest way I could. It seems stupid and Ill admit that it is. Regardless, I dont use ebay anymore and I have not for a long time, I was just stating that at one point in time I had done this to a few persons who I feel very well deserved it.
