snipping is fun and the key is bid HIGH at the end. i have won several auctions by 0.01 that is a joy! love to see the underbidders face when they lost for 1cent. on the other hand i have had a bid looking great at 14.00 and end at 233.00 so the bidder cost me cash. it is all LUCK.and skill in bidding. as i will try today for my b-day to see what luck i have should be fun. p.s skip i am getting older like you! big 39
