:))

i never did like to bid early on an auction
just look at whats happening here
the lead bidder placed his bid with a max and someone else has all the time in
the world to chip away at it
whose to say if this lead bid was not placed that the second bidder would have
placed his own max bid much lower?
also,the second bidder probably got emotional about this and just pushed higher
and higher to see how high the lead would go

i always bid at the closing seconds

of course the price is the most important part of the bid but i find,overall
that bidding late is best

others do think differently about this though..

never pays to get too emotional over chess computers

Best
