annoying ebay last minute bidders

don't you hate those people who wait till like 3 minutes
before the auction ends to bid. Obviously such people get
thinsg cheaper but as a seller or a competing bidder its
annoying. I have my synth up and only 1 bid but 14 watchers,
i can see them skulking around waiting to not give me much
money :(
bastards

put an ad in the paper then. There are other options aside
from ebay.

No, youve never managed to win an auction, because your top
price was too low. Had you put your highest bid higher, you
would have won, but you didnt want it that bad.

that's because they're not sitting waiting around to make a
last minute bid, they're using software or service to
'snipe' for them.

which simply means that you should do the same - it's all
within the rules of eBay.

if you have 2 people both using this softwarre on one bid,
what happens? is it just pot luck who has the highest bid as

whats annoying is when you want something for a good price
but rookies start a bidding war with days left so by the
time it sells the price is shit.

last minute bidding with sniping software is not fair, but
just waiting for the last 10 minutes before you start
bidding is the only sensible way to use eBay in my opinion
