The technique is called "Sniping",

No, this is called sniping the hard way. There are plenty of programs that will snipe automatically for you automatically. I use JBidWatcher from
http://www.jbidwatcher.com (it's FREE) and have it set to bid 4 seconds before auction end. Snipes correctly every time and I don't have to be at my computer to use it.
If you're sniping by hand, you are doing it the hard way. there is also a webiste called
www.esnipe.com - I used them for a long time before I found JBidWatcher and they work too. You have to pay them a really small fee though so it's not free.
