I think you missed the point. Incremental bidders are a problem for
people who *don't* snipe. If you put in a snipe bid, people don't get a
chance to incrementally bid against you, and you tend to get the item
for a lower price than if they had sniped or put in their max bid price.
Sniping is only a problem for those who haven't figured out how to make
ebay bidding work for them. :)
