It's surprising what can happen when you toss in a few "Hail Mary" bids in an auction when only one other person is bidding, albeit weakly.
I've missed out a few times by not bidding on lots because I thought they'd go for loads and it turned out they went for the starting bid or didn't sell at all!

So frustrating. Now I nearly always put a bid in - even if it's a "cheeky bid"
