Right on - the only exception seems to be if it's an ultra-rare collectible item that is going to fetch big bucks whether you bid early or late.

I'm not sure AS is much help in that kind of auction, since eBay gives the auction to the earlier bidder if both bids are equal. I think it was Rick who pointed out a long time ago that the only reliable way to win something like that is to place a really large proxy bid early in the auction, and hope no one else has pockets deeper than yours. I tend not to bid on those kinds of things on eBay.
