The only thing one can do is to pre-bid their max prior to the auctions ending and hope they stick.

...yes , that was what made me hire a professional "sniping" service to do the bids for me at the last 10 seconds , which would have been physically impossible for me and my ancient big old tower box on the floor plus the lag time on the phone line ( "dial-up" they calls it )....I figure my EZ Sniper program has gotten me literally dozens of cards which I never could have won on my own in E-Bay's auction bidding system when a group of cards I want all end at exactly ten P M on a Sunday night.............those notorious "set breaks" were the worst scenarios ; they're not a problem anymore....
