So lets see how these great snipe bidders do. The item number is 190459367841.
This so called snipe theory is some how bullet proof and even rookie cards signed and graded by potentially the greatest modern baseball player can be won with a simple snipe.
It does not matter that there are a ton of potential buyers out there that might see this item and want it. It does not matter that they might have a great deal of financial resources and pay more then the avid collector thinks this card is worth.
Wrong!!
This is a great example of a card that the out come will be very tough to predict.
Where is your snipe????
Good luck!

<< <i>This card won't go for $500. My point is how do you predict where it will got between say $0.99 and $150?? You can't.... >>
Whatever the highest amount you are willing to pay is your snipe. Not sure what you're missing. If you are willing to pay $200, set the snipe at $200. If you don't win, you wouldn't have won bidding it up in small increments any way.
With a snipe, you also eliminate any chance of the seller shilling you.

BIG plus in using a snipe service if you like to bid early.

Have you ever posted this in one of Neil's threads?
That said, there isn't much to say on the issue of sniping. If you know the max your willing to pay before you place your first bid then sniping is clearly the preferred method of bidding. If how much you're willing to pay is at least partially a function of how much others are willing to pay then the issue is more complicated. For items that are heavily traded, or that have multiple (i.e., more than two) people who are inclined to bid aggressively on them, whether you snipe or not is probably of very little consequence (although it would still make sense to snipe, your expected savings will be negligible).
<< <i>Look I don't care about the card and maybe you are right. The bottom line is a signed rookie can go for much more then you expect.
Post your snipe and lets see how close you get. >>
For the love of all that's sacred...forget about the snipe and go swing some pipe.

Shut up Gio
I have a very good friend that happens to be blonde. She plays off her "blonde-ness" and many think she's an air-headed nitwit and certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed. She's actually very bright and astute and I've concluded that it takes a lot of sagacity to act as lamebrained as she does sometimes.
That being said, either you are the one of the most thick-headed and numskulled individuals on these boards or you're an absolute genius for being able to play the idiot with such proficiency over and over and over and over and over and over again. I tend to lean toward the former, however.

Can't remember. I think I have helped him with his link before and I've added links to various peoples threads and helped show others in PM's how to do it because I'm such a nice guy.
