As some folks point out in a prior thread:

- sometimes coming out of the box with a high bid for a valuable item (say $25,000 on an item that is worth more than $50,000) can scare away dabblers and dreamers who may tune out and stop paying attention at the end. No, your not getting a $50,000 card for $50, and yes other people are alive and watching

- sometime on a high ticket item you maybe able to bid early with a max bid feature and lock in a sweet spot that might hold. (E.g, item may be worth $23,000 but may be unlikely to attract a bid at $27,000. So you lock in 25.

Always speculative stuff of course.
