If most auctions had the same type format as Ebay you could bid high as you feel comfortable with and still not hit your max bid. I made a bid once and knew I had to do something at the end of auction time, and was glad I had that option. I won even though it went much higher then I expected, but was happy I won with my eary max bid.

I always bid an amount higher than I want to pay so that I won't be disappointed if I lose.

And, in ebay style auctions I bid with a few seconds left (no software for me) so there is minimal time for anybody to bid again if they see that I have outbid them.

Goldin is not my cup o tea so I don't bid in his auctions, I do enjoy Heritage, REA, LOTG, and the smaller auction house closing procedures and the West Coast bias that comes with late night/early morning hammers.

Y'all get the National and we get to stay up 3 hours later than you, bathroom breaks not included.
