Nick is right - this is the best way to win stuff.

Also take heed of what moto748 says - you never know just how much the other person has bid, so set your maximum and go in with a few minutes to spare.

If there are no bids on an item and it's been going a few days, I'll often put in a low bid just to register my interest - it also stops people taking items off ebay and selling to someone who has emailed an offer to them.

It's some skill and a bit of luck. Unfortunately with Ducati items the seller always knows the right words to put in so everyone finds it and prices seem to be fair - you'll very rarely get a real bargain.
