TOPIC | What is snipe guard in auctions?
Snipe guarding is keeping people from putting in a bid one treasure higher during the last few minutes, to ensure you get it for basically the same price without giving anyone else the chance to respond and bid again.
Snipe guarding means that after the last bid is placed, usually some mechanic comes into play where the auction is extended long enough to give everyone else a chance to bid again.

To expand on what clockworkMoose said, the absolute smartest way to participate in an auction is to not bid at all until the last second, and then jump in with a bid. This ensures you don't accidentally drive the price up in a bidding war. However, this means things will often go for less then they might be worth, so people institute a snipe guard, extending the auction by a set amount of time every time someone bids within the last ~30 minutes or so.
