That too. This auction (http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws3/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=5302528769)'s bid history is very informative - vkc2000 is me, I took one look and thought "Ah. We're dealing with a lunatic nibble bidder. Snipe, and snipe high." It's very often new or low-feedback users who use the "nibble" style of bidding - those of us who've learnt how to get what we want seem to learn better :)
Sniping at the genuine max you're willing to pay can work too, especially for items that don't have heated bidding wars going on.
