They only see the max bid price. Other wise shill bidding would be a breeze. " oh look they have a max of 99. I will get my other unidentified or linked account to bid 98" .

A true sniper only fires one shot. They only reason to have two shots is if they want to kill the BIN and they are 1st bidder. Then they bid their best price they will pay as close as possible to the end of the auction.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you get the newb in here crying about how the price jumped in the last second of the Auction. Both make me smile. B-)
