That's what I advocate. We are in vehement agreement on this point :)
I would like to see eBay offer sealed-bid proxy auctions (i.e., no bids are
displayed -- essentially eBay does the same thing for you that sniping
would, but with more reliability and less trouble) and also "snipe-proof"
auctions that are automatically extended as long as the bids are going up.
My point is, if you like sniping, a sealed-bid proxy auction does the same
job better. And if you don't like sniping, it can be prevented. The seller
should be able to choose these. The current practice doesn't have the
advantages of either one.
