It does work sometimes, and like guys said, you can't be here all the time. Sometimes auctions ended in the middle of the night so I just placed a reasonable bid. I remember it working once, when I signed a rookie for 100k.

I'm not sure it drives the price up that much. It's true that it drives the price up way before bidding ends, but you can also argue that by keeping the price low more suitors will arrive at the end and drive the price up anyway. I keep an eye on the TL now and then and there always seems to be high demand, so not often is a bargain there for the taking.

I also prefer is someone puts their final bid early if I'm not willing to go higher, it saves me the time of having to wait for the bidding war.

I like to bid high a few hours before the deadline.
That keeps away daytraders and makes a bidding war much easier to overview.

When you are bidding against 2,3 others it is doable, but when 10,15 are in the mix, it is almost impossible.

I also found out lot of times that when more than 3 players are bidding on a player, the player is mostly sold for too high.

Only in the dark, we succeed!
