=>For me, here's the deal.
=>
=>I can put a high-bid amount all I want, but come the last 5 minutes of the
=>auction, 4 times out of 5  I'll get all itchy and tingly inside
=>and lift my
=>high bid right at the end.  It just depends how badly I want the
=>item.  Most
=>the time I'll keep an eye on an auction jump in at the very end,
=>only so the
=>illusion is that less people are interested in the item over the course of
=>the auction.
