He is not the only one who does that. I emailed another popular seller one time asking them why their auctions ended so close to each other and their answer made sense. They said, with the amount of cards they have, if they staggered them more, it would take too much time for their auctions to end.
The only thing one can do is to pre-bid their max prior to the auctions ending and hope they stick.
