For auction houses I usually have two tiers of items I watch, first are the handful of items I’m very interested in, and secondly those I am interested in but less so. If I get priced out of the top tier I’ll start placing bids in the other items so I’m on the extended bidding sheet. For example in a recent auction I expected an item to be around $3k and with about a week left it had bolted up to $7k and out of my range. In return I placed holder bids in about 10-12 lesser items I was interested in.
