The 'stupid' part is thinking you are getting one over on somebody bysniping.

If everyone bid the most they were willing to pay the FIRST (and only)
time they bid, you'd be right. But a large % of ebayers don't
understand proxy bidding and don't bid their max.

So you're wrong.

There are other reasons why sniping is the best strategy, but since
you can't get past the obvious one, I won't tax your brain with the
rest.
