As Dark always says, get your maximum bid in early and by doing so tell everyone that it's yours. That way, you'll either get your item for a price you're willing to pay, or you won't get it, but the price by then will be too high for you anyway.
That having been said, I have succesfully sniped, but I wouldn't always recommend it.
What item have you got in mind?
EDIT: This CPS 3000 by any chance? If so, I hope you win it. Get your maximum bid in now.

My dad buys all his eBay auctions (and he does eBay on a daily basis) with a special program to snipe it at the last second. I don't know what it's called, but there should be similar programs for Windows since he does it on Linux.
It would be weird if two computers sniped it with that program at the exact same time, I wonder what would happen?

your dad sounds like my dad, on without the program, he has timers that go off 5 minutes before the auction closes so he can manually snipe it. My dad gets a package every other day! Hey, that's funny. :Hey, that's funny.:

Wait a minute....couldn't you just bid like 2000 dollars or something? Then nobody would ever get higher. Wait a minute....is the price raised if somebody bids higher but not above your maximum? Then that would make sense why nobody does that.
