question Do domain bidders wait until the last minute before bidding?

[w3names]

I've always sold names through negotiation, but lately I've been experimenting with no reserve 7-day auctions at GoDaddy. So far it's been a disappointing experience, with just one bidder per listing despite my efforts during the 7 days to publicize the auction. Obviously name desirability is a factor, but my question is:

Is it common for bidders to appear in the last hour?

Thanks

last minute, no reason to drive price up for no reason

It's common, and also common domainers spend much more time and money on expired auctions and line GoDaddy's pocket compared to money spent on public (domain investor) auctions.

Whenever possible, i try to snipe. No need to show my interest to others.

From another hand, i can't count how many great names i missed this way because of auction sites lags....
