An auction for an item with a history of an apparent bidding war up to $10 appears much more desirable than an auction for an item that just sits there for a week at its opening bid of $10.

This is why I never bid till 10sec out using a automated app. It’s stupid to actually bid on items and allow the other bidders to respond.
