Very right! The purposes are crossed; the seller is after the highest price that moves the goods, and buyer for the lowest that secures the purchase.
Hearing a seller gripe about sniping is as silly as listening to a buyer griping about high reserves or high buy-it-now. Just the other side of the table. Don ps: I've loved sniping since my start at eBay, but I finally have something to sell, soon, so I'll have snipers! For a while.
