That is a question that everybody who participates in the auctions would delight in having a working answer to.
Personally I have won only three auctions but the thing is I have only tried about seven times so my odds at winning are running a whopping 42%. I know if I played more my winning percentage would more than likely decrease considerately.
The old saying – “Practice makes perfect” is very true when playing the auctions. You have to get in there and bump a few elbows and learn what it takes for you to win. Everyone will have their own strategy for winning.
What works for me might not work for anyone else. I enter an auction about what I guess is at its ½ point. Then I only bid when I notice that no one else has bid when the timer drops below 10 seconds left.
When I can see that there is a bidding war going on between a couple of people I back off and wait for whoever ends up on the top – when that happens I wait for the timer again to show that there is only 10 seconds or less to bid.
I personally do not do a lot of auctions because of the slow latency problems caused by my Internet provider which is by satellite. I cannot afford to switch over to the super high speed system. If I had better (and cheaper) satellite service I would participate in more auctions.
It would be advisable to go to the latest auction results for the item you are interested in and study the amount of bids it took to win the auction. Figure an average by the highest bids down to the lowest bids and see if you can afford to participate around the ½ way point.

When on the above page go to the item you are interested in bidding on and at the bottom of the photo there will be a link there which will take you to the winning history of that item.
There are so many variables that need to be considered into picking out an average win point that the math becomes ridiculous.
When I play in the auctions it is because I have a large amount of TCredits that I need to convert to action points – this way if I win it is an extra huge bonus because I receive the AVPs that I needed and I also won the auction.
And now to help top up the prizes for bidding in the auctions is that you receive a new CSA every time you make 50 bids (TCredits).
