I did OK and was able to get the one item I was really after in this auction.
The one thing I really don't like are the bid increments. Once an item hit $500, it went in $100 increments, which is a 20% leap. Same when it hit $1,000, the increments were $200. It made it so you could be a bit strategic about when to place the bid, knowing the next one would be a big jump. Most other auctions use a 10% bid increment, if not smaller.
Smaller increments may have solicited more bids in many cases - REA used to have a similar philosophy, but moved to smaller increments which I personally feel is much better.
