Sniping
Outbidding fellow buyers in the last few seconds of the auction.
It's the process of bidding at the very last moment before an online auction ends. The sniper has only one shot to get the item and the sniper's bid has to be high enough to be the winning one. Sniping can be done manually, but it's more efficient to use an online service that will bid automatically in the last few seconds of the auction.
