Jay, you just said the key word in your last comment - (strategy)

By the sounds of it the rule of thumb that you follow for auctions is to just plug your max bid in and go to bed. That strategy seems to work for you and I think thats great!

Many here including myself though just don�t follow that same bidding strategy/pattern for a number of reasons, especially when factoring in that we can be talking about the many different lots that bidders could be following simultaneously in any given auction.

When you have 3 unexpected closing nights arise in the same auction spanning across 2 weeks it does in fact change the strategy and the auction results.

I also prefer to stay up and in the heat of the battle pay more than i ever thought i would and then freak out when i see the bill and i didnt even factor in all the added fees.

+1 there's so much more that goes into a bidding strategy, especially for rare/expensive cards, than set it and forget it.
