You need to look at the bids...you'll see that kohalacharms tried to snipe that auction.Don't get me wrong..I'm not saying it's good/bad right/wrong, just pointing out a fact to Swanky, who said that he doesn't snipe.I have nothing against kohalacharms at all (or anyone else for that matter).
Ah, he UNSUCCESSFULLY sniped! I thought you meant he was the winner.

So see, folks, not even kohalacharms wins/buys every dang thing for top dolla!

And yes, I do snipe. Not via eSnipe or whatever. I just wait til the very end and then put in my maximum, so as not to drive up the price. In the vintage dress circuit, the girls are viciousviciousvicious (like putting in $300 or $400 via eSnipe....for ONE FREAKIN' SHAHEEN DRESS!). One simply has to wait 'til the end so as not to give away one's interest.....Not to mention the need to give up on ever scoring a medium/large sized killer '50's Shaheen via eBay.
