I've lost several auctions because of people sniping.

No you haven't. You lost because your bid was too low.

I love the eBay last minute, and wouldn't want to use a computer to deprive me of that thrill, the have I or haven't I won feeling waiting for the screen to refresh.

Here in sunny NZ, eBay is fairly irrelevant for most folks, but we have www.trademe.co.nz which is like eBay, but you cant snipe. Placing a bid close to the auction end time extends the auction by two minutes.... just like a real auction.

eBay is far more fun :-)
