Items can be posted in auction format (buy-it-now can be used for flat-

items within the last two minutes of an auction will extend that
auction by 30 minutes, making sniping a thing of the past.

...and making emotional p***ing contests in the middle of the
night a thing of the present.  ;-)

Think about the price that would make you a satisfied buyer if
you won and a satisfied loser if you didn't--then snipe that bid
to protect it from people who like to steam open envelopes...

As you can see, I much prefer sealed-bid auctions.  ;-)
