Then ebay would be like a true auction. Ugghhh, then when you snipe it would get extended! Of course, most people treat e-snipe as the Ronco of Internet Auction tools. Set it and forget it;)

Technically it could be done, but it would require a certain amount of intelligence and system monitoring that maybe they don't want to entertain.?.

Not sure if I would like that as a buyer... But it would be more like a true auction.
