on the late website, OnSale.com, One of eBay's predecessor's, there used to be a two-miute rule, that meant if a bid was received during the last two minutes, the auction time was extended for 5 more minutes... Sniping was darn near impossible under those rules... and the merchandise brought top dollar.
