I mean, that's the way the eBay game is played, you know. Everybody is trying to get the lowest possible price, and to do so, there are different strategies that can be followed. "Sniping" is one of them, and a very effective one. The bidding isn't over until it's over, and if you get outbid in the last seconds of an auction, well, that's just tough luck. ,xtG .tsooJ -- /~\ The ASCII Ribbon Campaign: \ / - No HTML/RTF in email X - No Word docs in email / \ - Respect for open standards -- Joost van de Griek <http://www.jvdg.net/>
