Why anyone would sit at a computer and wait for the last second baffles me.

The seller also had the Antarctic Pack which went for a song, something I've been after for ages. I was all setup to snipe, ready to press the button at the required moment... poised... pressing it - INTERNET EXPLORER CANNOT FIND THE PAGE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR - Please try again!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!Serves me right, snipers are evil. Evil I tell you! No, hold on - it's Internet Explorer that's the true evil in this world.Somebody PLEASE sell me an Expedition Pack! I'll pay in blood.
I like to see the win. Sniping is boring. There is no glory there... no sense of "yes, I did this." Its just automatic, like breathing. And, sniping is frustrating, but I'm learning how to get around it... just need more money.

When something like 99.5-percent of all game cards ever produced will never, ever sell for more than 50 cents, it's just not that important to be worried about "corners" and "edgewear."I'd be watching for fake bids on this one ...
