If you want an item that much, you should probably put in a minimum bid of some kind on it when you first find it and not wait to only snipe at the end....especially if there are no bids at all on the item (I would still snipe at the end also) :) If I was a seller who didn't know what my item was worth and there are no bids and then someone emails me a good offer, I'm gonna seriously consider ending the auction early and taking the offer. By putting in a minimum bid you are letting the seller know that at least one buyer is interested. So by not putting in a bid earlier, you are taking a risk of not getting a chance at the item at all.....just my opinion- please, no stones :) mahalo and 135 to you all!
