Hello Randy, Mike and All,

Your idea is good Randy and should be submitted to eBay!

  Hello Mike and Listmembers.

  Sorry, but your idea is never going to happen.  Sniping on ebay is a way of life and has been since the beginning of ebay.  The real solution would be for ebay to alter their auctions so that an auction could not end until 5 minuites had passed without a bid.  This would make it a TRUE auction venue.

  Good luck with sharpening your ebay sniping skills Mike.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

  Randy
