ok iam going to ask a dumb question here, what is sniping? you all are talking about
Grant . Your not the Lone Ranger , I didn't know what snipping was either until JIm explained . My grandfather always tried to get me to go snipe hunting ( holding a bag and waiting for the snipe birds) as a kid but I never did. I was always to scared of the dark and the woods.
I like SINCLAIR and old American made stuff ... No china items.

I think I am the dumb one. I would always make sure I am available for the end of each auction I wanted to bid on & I would bid it. That explains why I don't always get the item!!!
Thank you
Scott

I must be missing something here, if Kevin and an old gasser were involved what happened to the old gasser did he fall asleep also? Why would you feel guilty, what's wrong with the other party

If they both would have bid, then they would have paid their absolute max as they would have bid against each other.
They agreed one would bid, Kevin, and his alarm didn't go off.

sniping is like what Ron Popeil says in the infomercial "Set it and forget it" take what you feel is your best shot and get some sleep.

Ted-- We were teamed up to buy the item instead of bidding against each other. I was to place my highest bid as a snipe and between us, we had worked out a formula that would decide who got the plate depending on the amount of the winning bid.
The plan was a good one but didn't account for my human error!

I bought one about 25 years ago. Sold it about five years later. Regretted it ever since. Tried to buy it back numerous times. No luck. Ended up buying one from Leo Mathieu at Columbus last summer. Then bought another at Iowa Gas and sold it to Mike Carr. Knew it was rare, but realized how rare when I found out Richard never had one. Pretty good bragging rights to say that I've owned three! Kevin, hope you can get it. I agree about esnipe. I've used it for years now. Place your bid and forget it. Either you get it or you don't. Pat.
Looking for early Pure Oil Company items(Energee,Detonox,Puritan)as well as any Woco Pep items.
Looking for graphic quart cans for my collection.

E snipe works great, been using it for years.. Only time it let me down was my own fault, I changed my eBay password and forgot to update the e snipe account... I set a bid on an item and I didn't go through... Other than that it's a great service!
