It's common sense. If you keep bidding when there are days to go, you just push the price up, as your "opposing" bidders will keep bidding to outbid you, so the price goes up and up. It's far better to let someone else remain the high bidder until the last minute then quickly outbid them before they have a chance to bid again.
Good news for buyers, bad news for sellers :-)
