The best thing is to guess what you think the person's highest bid is and what you are willing to pay and put that in with 14 seconds to go on the last step. There is always a chance of a last minute group of bids coming in and something going for a ridiculous price. I avoid getting caught up in bidding wars.

within the last 10 seconds..... bid higher.
Wait it out then until the last few seconds. Kinda tedious, but I guess I'll try that.

Good suggestion. I'll try this too.
