You take aim, wait for the optimum moment and BOOM - success or not?

Basically sniping is putting in a bid right in the last few seconds of an online auction. If you have tried to buy anything popular then you are the target for snipers so get informed and become a sniper yourself.

There are plenty of guides and services out there so don't be the sniped (snipee?) be the sniper
