You put in your highest bid price and check back after the auction ends to see if you won. If outbid by $1 - so what? I set my bid limit in the proxy and if it went for more it was too much for me.
I don't care if someone esnipes an auction I bid on - they usually do. It really makes no difference to me in the end. If they bid more - they win (and probably paid too much) or the item is mine b/c my proxy bid limit was greater than their last second esnipe bid.
