"A study by South Korean physicists confirms what some of us have taken for granted for a long time: a single bid at end of auction nets the most wins.

"Our analysis explicitly shows that the winning strategy is to bid at the last moment as the first attempt rather than incremental bidding from the start." The study appears in the current Physical Review E journal.'"
