I don;t get this. Why don't you simple do what E-bay origianlly intended 
you to do. Decide what that part is worth to you and bid that ammount. If 
you win it, you've got it for a price less than you think it's worth (so 
you've 'won'), if somevody outbids you (whether a 'snipe' or not), well, 
they were prepared to pay moe for it than you were. It happens. 

OK, I don;t use E-bay as much as most people here, I guess, but so far 
I've done the above. NEver sniped. Of course I am sometimes outbid. I 
would expect to me. But I do win things. Probably more than I am outbid 
on, acutally.
