That is precisely my strategy--I figure the range the card will likely end up at if I can, determine if I can reasonably be in on the action, and place a max bid based on the amount I am willing to pay within that range early, thus forcing other bidders to surpass my bid by a significant margin. That way I'm covered, and don't have to stay up half the night (although I have done that).
And boy, based on what I've seen lately, if I decide to consign something significant, PWCC will certainly receive a great deal of consideration!
Best to all,
