When I find something I'm interested in, I know it doesn't make any sense
to bid on it till the last minute. I make an entry for the closing time 
and date on my Outlook calendar and link it to the auction URL. Then, at
the appropriate time, I go to the site and see if the price has gone too
high. If not, I bid. Sometimes I get the thing, sometimes I don't.

For a seller, I assume the highest selling price comes when lots of people
bid. That's why it kills me when they set their object's auction to end
in the middle of the night or on a weekend, when no one is around. 
For me as a buyer, I don't even bother to bid on these.
