Yes, sort of….
There’s three unwritten rules about auctions that I live by:
1) Never “out” an auction that’s live and in progress. The people currently bidding don’t need or want any other competition.
2) Never brag about where you found a particular deal, be it a little-known auction site, web page, physical store/location, etc. If you tell everyone where you found a steal, someone else will use that knowledge to steal it next time.
3) Don’t keep upping the bid every five minutes with days left in the auction. Figure out what your max bid is and make your max bid in the closing minute. Bidding items up over several days doesn’t really drive determined buyers away.
