If the sniper were willing to pay $100,000, and the other highest bidder only bid $30,000, the sniper's bid would still only be 10% higher. That is due to eBay's automated bid tipping system. So for all we know, the sniper may have bid 50% higher or more. The world may never know.

You need to bid at LEAST 50% more than the current price, not 10% as was done here. And for the high bidder to defend himself against sniping, he needs to bid at least 100% more than the current bid. I realize that's a little difficult in this price range.
