Geez, kinda sensitive, eh? You're defensive about your ebay sniping tool like you invented it or something.

Yes, I can time my bids to hit within the last couple seconds of the auction and anyone can do it. That doesn't make for a prodigy, it just means I'm able to watch a clock. I usually enter my bid with 3-4 seconds left and get the item I want. I can't get a 2nd bid in after that, but I've seldom needed to (The main problem I've come across, which is fairly rare too, would be the person with the standing high bid has their maximum set higher than what I enter.) *shrug*
