But do the end justify the means? I have also found it an unpleasurable
experience to lose something which I have put a bid on in some cases several
weeks ago, only to be outbid at the very last minute, possibly when I'm at
school or fast asleep. In a real-life auction, there are the three rounds in
which you may increase your bid, giving everyone a fair chance. On Ebay, the
auctions do instead go on for weeks, and jumping in at the very end of this
time frame is really quite dishonest. Some play with their cards on the table,
whereas the snipers literally rip the thing out of your hands. It's really
annoying, and and example of very bad behaviour. Perhaps the reason why
anarchy doesn't work very well.
