Well, in my case I do video conference calls from home so I have to be dressed from the desktop up, as long as I remember not to stand..

That's why I always just put in the highest amount I'm willing to pay, and let it play out. I'm OK getting outbid by $1 if its reached my max bid.

The wife is the total opposite and will sit and raise her bid $1 above the highest right up to the last second. She is the very embodiment of the EBay sniper and is very good at it. I am sure she is hated worldwide for her last microsecond bids but she gets way better prices than I do with my set it and forget it method.

You might force a sniper to show their cards a little in advance, but not sure it really drives up the price by a large percentage. That said, I do tend to not bid until the last day of an auction so I can see where the price is going, I guess I'm a hybrid bidder.

I have mostly given up on bids anymore anyway and just click on items that are Buy It Now unless that simply isn't an option.

esnipe.com. Have them bid for you 3-4 seconds before the auction is over and you either win or not. One of the benefits is you don't have the option of getting in a bidding war, you put in your max bid and let it do it's thing.
