I'd like to add - as an example of pond life - that due to worldwide time differences, auctions frequently end when I am at work. Although some clients may be happy for me to sit there chasing my much-sought-after-item, most are not. Sniping is often the only recourse I have to bidding on an item when I cannot keep instant track of how the bidding is progressing.

Not everyone has the time (or desire) to sit in front of a computer all night and fight back and forth in $2 or $5 increments. Sniping allows you to set a bid and have it executed at the end of the auction without having to tie your night to the computer. ....despite the fact that's EXACTLY what you should be doing. Sniping is irritating... but auto-sniping is dirty pool. End of story. It essentially denies those people who ARE sitting in front of their PCs trying to get a much-sought-after item. I've stayed quiet mostly here, but I regard all snipers as little more than pond life.
