Well put. 'what would seem'

I lost a BB auction by $1 but did I? My maximum snipe bid was $35 and the winning bid was $36. I have no idea what the wining bidders maximum was so upping my bid by $1 may have upped the others bid by $1. Before you know it the price is $100 because you get caught up in the frenzy. Using a snipe program and 'walking away' preserves my bid which is what I felt was its true value. In my opinion, if someone out bids me, they over paid.
