I Hate "Bid Snipers"

[w_alchemist_jen]

"Bid Snipers": Those asshats who wait until the closing seconds of an auction on eBay to outbid you so you don't have a chance to raise your own bid.

Needless to say, Jen hates that...very much. Also, it just happened to me today. I was waiting for an auction for one of the Harvest Moon Gameboy Color games(it was Harvest Moon 3 GBC, to be exact) to end so I could pay for it, and, just as the auction was closing(actually, it was 3 seconds. I'm on dial-up, so I really had no chance), I got the outbid notice...blood pressure went up as I started plotting the Bid Sniper's demise. Well, not really, but I was not happy about the situation. 

Now, to go look for another copy of the game. Maybe Amazon Marketplace has an inexpensive copy.
