...insulting emails is the sniper who, a week or two later, offers the very same chip on eBay for a bit higher than he originally paid. I don't object to the "honest snipe" - one that simply beats my price. What really shreds my lettuce is the snipe that manages to consistently get his bid in within 10 seconds of auction end. Just curious - if he's using a sniping service, what happens if another person who uses the same service bids?
