To be honest the only problem I have with the AH at the moment is a lot of time when people do go for the snipe at the less than 10 secs left on timer the AH gets overloaded and you error out of the item, thus it never changed to what the current new bid is and you have no way to counter snipe. Thus it makes it a risky business sometimes, especially if you really want the item for an upgrade and not just something to resell.

The video (and common sense) explains pretty clearly how to counter-snipe, and it has nothing to do with trying to manually outbid someone at the last second. It comes down to who puts in the highest "auto bid" number at the last possible second, especially when you're talking about items with either a significant total number of bidders, or a significant monetary increase by someone else in those last few seconds.
It's ridiculous to ask millions for an item and it's even more stupid to give that gold for an item :/
Its a game and has in game currency. Just because you can't manage to make gold doesn;t make peopel that can ridiculous for buying/selling at proper prices.
i'm always confused when someone gets mad at me or other players for outbidding everyone at the last moment...if you really want to win an item, put a big bid on the item to protect it so that ppl can't snake it from you at the last second..if someone outbids you after that, there is no sense in getting mad because that player either wanted it more or had more funds.
when i get outbid, i realize that i either cheaped out or just didn't think it was worth any more then i bid.
