I hear yeah, I was sniped four times, by .01 cent, on Time Pilot cartridge (not even boxed) a few years back.It can get irritating after a while, but I figure that with enough patience I will eventually get what I wanted, once the 4 or 5 people that also want the same item have theirs.
More recently I forgot to bid on the MASH boxed game with t-shirt; it only went for $35.Douh!
