99 out of 100 times, the sniper wins, but they can be beat and I've done it twice. The problem is you have to sit at the computer and time it perfectly so that your bid goes in with merely a few seconds left. The compurters are fast, but they have to recieve a signal and then generate one. The generation happens in a nano second, but the recieve notice to the computer that it's been out bid has to go through all the scanning crap. That may take a few seconds, even for a fast system. One other point, if you're in a fast moving bidding war you can't just up your bid by 1 or 2%, you've got to make a statement move, like more than 10%. In other words, you've got to REALLY want the item.
