OK. But I suspect—I could be wrong—that it will sell for significantly less than I might be willing to pay for it. (It has a unique value to me—and possibly not to other bidders.)

If this is correct, is there some way of timing the bids at the end of the auction, to make sure I have the time to get the highest bid—without necessarily bidding far above what others are willing to pay.

I know (or rather I have heard) there is some art to this—but I don't know more than that.
