Agreed, they would have bid earlier.
Bidders are always going to try to bid as close to the end of an auction as possible, that's never going to change. The AH's are the ones that decide if this late bidding frenzy occurs at 1am or 6am based on when the bidders think/believe the auction will truly close.
