>2: The “Must be in front bidder”. This type of bidder puts in a small bid until

>3: The “Impulse bidder”. This bidder places his maximum right off but then

>5: The “Sniper with recce”. This bidder places a bid early on to show his

>6: The “Combo bidder”. This bidder may act a bit like the “Must be in front
>bidder” and the “Impulse bidder” but may also Snipe right at the end.
