That is about my philosophy as well, which means I lose at least 20 snipes
for every one I win.
Sometimes I've been surprised to find a win way below what I had set the
snipe for.

Good prices, but scary numbers. I don't usually work with numbers that large
on epay. I guess I did buy a C5050 from olympusamerica, but they are the
exception that I'd trust for very high amounts. Thankfully the largest
transaction for me on epay was a sell, a John Deere model M tractor for
about $2000, which a guy in Virginia bought, and drove up here to New
Brunswick, Canada, to pick up. Counted out American century notes, so I
wasn't too worried about the money.
