Next time you bid, think about that....James.


Snipe or be sniped. Like it or not, it is what it has become. IMO you can stew about the merits or lack thereof of snipers and not have any razors you'd otherwise like to win or you can snipe and have a chance at winning a few. There are scads of sniping services. I was in your shoes 9 months ago (steam coming out of my ears over those dirty rotten snipers). Now I can "set it and forget it" on the snipe service I use and win a large majority of what I want.
