| You get my respect for not employing a sniping service or program. I'm fine with getting outbid in the final 3 seconds by a live human being tapping away at their keyboard with a beaded, tense brow, but the sniping services make me MAD. |

| Just tried to get a pipe the other day (on my phone on the highway - no other cars around and straight road) Someone else really wanted it, out bid me with a giant increase (because I tried the same thing despite my limited funds) but not by the same amount. Like Zeno, the fact that it was a real person is the only reason I am not upset about losing the pipe.
Though, I really wanted that pipe.
Dang it. |

| I didn't even know you could get sniping services. That's pretty weak. Sorry you missed out on your pipe bud. |
