For me, yes. Most of want I go after these days is oddball cards with only a handful of people that might actually be interest. I like to bid early so that the seller doesn't think there is a lack of interest and accept another offer off of eBay. I know it doesn't prevent then problem completely, but sellers are much less likely to sell something out from under an active bidder than they are if there are no bidders.
