Personally think it all depends on timing and who is around that particular window. Like C58, I live in the UK and the best time I have seen to bid is early morning (handy for me as I get up earlyish for work).

My whole team was bought on 1T each (one as a hopeful punt as someone else bidded on him prior to me) and the team has just hit an overall average of 6* at level 1.
