I've never used a sniper but I'm going to after my last debacle.
For anyone else who missed it, the seller had someone put in a massive bid to discover my max bid amount, then cancelled that bid and immediately (as in 40-odd seconds later) re-bid just below my max bid amount, thus guaranteeing that they would get at least the amount I was willing to pay even if there was no other interest.
Something similar is partly why I started using one years ago.
