This sounds like a good definition for the word auction <g>  

One of the things I like to do when at a *real* (not electronic)
auction, is watch those who bid and figure out what is going on.  There
are some who never bid until the majority drop out.  Some only bid if it
will be a real bargain.  Some are buying for resale so have to consider
profit.  Others will get caught up in the excitement and bid much higher
than they could have gotten the item for new in a store.  And the number
of different ways of indicating a bid are interesting as well.

By knowing who and what their style is, you become better able to judge
your competition.  Car auctions are great for this.
