Personally, I prefer to catch great BIN prices. Quit often (about 20% of the time) BIN's are way bellow the average prices. But I snipe if I have to bid against others for something I want badly.
But watch out you do not outsmart yourself. The other day I noticed a guy made lowball bits on several of the same item to knock out the BIN's. If he had checked it out he would have known that the BIN's were about 70% of what the same item had been selling for by bids. In fact they all went for more than the BIN price was. In other words he knew all about a technique but nothing about when and when not to use it.

Thanks so far all you "snipers". I learned a lot in a few minutes. Do you think - in general - that snipers are experienced bidders, that is bidders with a large number of feedbacks?
