This is a good question. I've consulted for a penny auction site, and this set of scripts shouldn't be called "sniping" bots - the time restarts unless you're the last bidder, and you really can't tell if you're the last bidder.
They do make sense as "autobid" bots, but that's different - many sites actually let you autobid automatically, no bot needed.
