Ebay snipers

I dont see the point in sniping, you still enter the same top bid regardless.
A high early offer can put people off and make them watch other similar items instead.0 -

There is some truth to this, but it's very dependent on the situation. It's still a mugs game to put in your very top bid (or even near it) until the very last seconds of the auction. If you do, then you will push up the price if there is competition bidding against you and you will almost certainly end up paying more.0
