Anything worthwhile is always decided in the last 20 seconds, it is very rare an items bid trend early on resembles the final price.
As I_A_N said above is best just to wait until last moment. A number of times I've been forced to bid on items early because I wouldn't be able to wait until last minute, I will bid a average selling price I'm willing to pay, not cheap, not expensive. I'll always return to find I've been outbid by the smallest amount required. Yet if I were to wait until last minute and type my highest bid willing to pay I'd likely not be outbid and wouldn't even pay the max I was willing.
Trust me, decide what the max you want to pay is then enter that in the box and do it last minute, it'll auto-bid only as high as it needs to in order to win, never going over your max.
