That is true regardless of your use of a snipe bid or not.  If you  snipe, 
which I do on a regular basis, you eliminate your bid from precipitating  the 
run up of the bidding, either by you or by others.  It takes the  passion out 
of 
the bid equation and turns it into a business decision, which is  (IMHO) 
where it should be.
 
As a seller, which I also am, sniping creates a big vacuum (read that  as 
sucks).  To compensate somewhat for that, I generally put a "Buy It Now"  price 
on my items to encourage those who really want of need an items to go  ahead 
and end the auction and get the item they want/need.  <[8^)   Bill Barber
