I've done that before also. If someone bids over me I wait until the 15 minutes is almost up, and keep doing this until the other bidder gives up. Of course I have a limit in mind that I won't bid higher than, but I have outlasted a few.
I think one reason people place bids early on is to get the bottom feeders to drop out early so they won't get caught up in the auction frenzy at the end and just drive the price even higher.
