I've no problem with sniping - at the end of the day it's the highest bid that wins, no matter when it was made.

I do it, both manually and automatically (with the aid of a software program). I win more and I save more money, because I'm not getting into bidding wars throughout the seven days with novice bidders who just drive the price up to ridiculous levels (some seem to take bidding as a personal affront).

There was a time when sniping was considered by many as immoral...nowadays it's more and more common; I find most auctions I bid on have some form of price hike in the last 8 seconds.
