Exactly. If you aren't willing to pay the price for an item, there's someone who will.

There are websites out there where you enter in info. Then a program automatically bids in the last few seconds of an auction. The idea is so that the other bidders dont have time to raise their bids in retaliation.

But you don't necessarily have to use a program or website to snipe. You just wait until right before the auction ends and bid.
