[R-390] Radio Mart burned my @#$%$ again

[David C. Hallam]

I understand the problems with Radio Mart, but what is the problem with him
outbidding you regardless when he placed his bid.  Bid sniping is a fair
technique that can be used by all.  Just because you didn't get a bargain
doesn't mean there is something unfair or illegal about it.

With eBay's proxy bidding system, just bid the maximum amount you are
willing to pay for an item.  One of two things will happen, you will be the
winner for the maximum amount you bid or less if there is a lack of as the
saying goes "motivated bidders", or you will be outbid.  In the second case
it went for more money than you will willing to pay for it anyway.  If there
were an item in a store selling for more than you wanted to pay for it,
would you be unhappy because someone else bought one?
