Frankly that is rubbish.

I have bought thousands of items at auction, and I never show my hand until the last moment.

Surely at an auction, if you stick in a bid at the last hammer fall, the auctioneer will take your bid and continue, for howver long it takes. He does not take your new bid and immediately end the auction in your favour.

When it comes to eBay, I look at the item. I think to myself "how much do I want to pay for this item?" then enter that amount. Sometimes, I get an email back telling em I now own a coffee table or somesuch, and other times, I don't. When I don't, someone thought the item was worth more than I did, so they bought it. On occasion, I'll even send a message to a seller offering them £X if I can pick it up tomorrow, before the auction has ended. It is just a way of buying and selling things, so no need, in my mind, to ever get upset over it.

Showing your hand is fawning all over the object in question giving the nod to the selling team, etc.

Anyhoo, I was talking about online auctions in that quote, goes the same though.
