I am getting ready to swoop in on an ebay auction and outbid
 

the sole bidder who thinks no one else is gonna bid.

:1orglaugh

hahaha, yea I do that too! Just sit and wait till it's down to a minute. LOL!!!

Yer gonna lose.

He has been the sole bidder for 3 days and surely lulled into thinking he is the winner.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

Probably the seller.

I know in certain areas of ebay specially among certain hobbies that many people will post a "I am buying this bid" to alert the others in a pretty small circle of common bidders. Sort of like pissing on a tree. Means crap to anyone else.

Often they place their minimum bid early on in the auction yet at same time they place their full bid which is much higher and they typically will not go over that price regardless. So snipers mean jack shit in reality.

good luck
