10 minutes to go is a stand up bid, within the last minute is a snipe since there isn't time to raise your bid. ive been truely sniped and sniped good a few times and it is frustating; but if you had 10 minutes! man 10 minutes is an eternity on ebay sometimes. i sat waiting to the last second on an amiga 4000 once. thought i had the bid all wrapped up and instead of getting a bid win email 30 seconds after bidding ended i got an outbid notince. now that was a frustating snipe!
