... I know there are strong views on both sides...

But I really enjoyed the discussion. I've only done an Ebay auctions once or twice and it wasn't for a contested item. But I loved learning more about the auctions as well as snipping and snipe software. I have no need or deisre to do that. But it was very interesting to read. These last couple days I have actually looked forward to reading all these posts.

Thanks everyone!
