I never bid on an auction until there are less than 10 seconds left.

The only exceptions are for items that :

a - I know I want
b - have a low starting bid
c - nobody has bid on, yet
d - I know will go for considerably more than the opening bid

If all of those criteria are met, I will open the bidding with the minimum. Kind of a place-mark bid.
