Auction sniping is the practice, in a timed
online auction, of placing a
bid likely to exceed the current highest bid (which may be hidden) as late as possible—usually seconds before the end of the auction—giving other bidders no time to outbid the sniper. This can be done manually, by
software on the bidder's computer,
[1] or by an online sniping service.

A
bid sniper (often, merely called a sniper) is a person, or
software agent, that performs auction sniping.

i also did this but lost to someone who was probably using software or they were just better than me
