I have settled on a strategy of bidding that seems to work when I am actively bidding (this goes only for little stuff not land and such). When I hope the other person bids, then I know I don't want the item at the stated price. I can feel intuitively that I will not want the item if I get it.

Does anyone have a help for the opposite scenario? In this scenario I have not yet bid but the price is quite low and I don't want to bid in case I missed something. The price stays very low and the item is sold. I am left kicking myself for not sticking my neck out there and making a good deal. Maybe I should bid once and see if I like it. The problem is that one bid might get it...
