Watch list accomplishes the same thing as the currently biddin, no? But in any event you aren't trying to stay atop the leaderboard which people seem to do all the time, on the bigger cards, especially in PWCC.

I forget about stuff in my watch list sometimes, but no I do not see the point in bidding the auction up early. I do frequently place one smaller bid early though. I will bid auctions up earlier at major AHs that use 10% increments. Perhaps others who do this aren't smart enough to realize that this doesn't make sense on Ebay, but even that seems like a stretch. Short of shilling, it's hard to come up with a reasonable reason to do so.
