Besides not being able to bid during the last minute, there is no logical reason to bid before the 15 second mark. All bidding early does is give your competition time to bid again (assuming yours is the high bid) and you time to second guess yourself by bidding more than you wanted to spend (assuming that your bid was your "max").
