Poor auction tactics? Why?

[aiureah]

Some bid in the last second because 1) They want to qualify as leader for the next round because if nobody else bids anymore they win the auction. 2) They don't understand the auction system
Some people bid multiples times per round because 1) They don't pay attention to the action 2) They don't understand the auction system

I agree they want to be the lead...but all that will do will enforce them to bid last second in the following round in case their opponent does.
