Did you really expect otherwise? That's how most things that aren't
really common go. Though it seems somewhat strange for an Apple ][, even
an early one, to be considered "rare".
Anyhow, if I had bid on it, I certainly would have waited until the last
ten seconds. There is basically NO upside to bidding early. And if
people discover that you're bidding on stuff they're interested in, they
start watching what you bid on as another way of finding stuff they
might want.
