As a BUYER "sniping" the auction in the last seconds with a single bid of the most you are willing to pay is FAR more likely to get you the item at the lowest possible price than "tipping your hand"... showing your interest in the auction and ultimately how much you are willing to pay WAY before the end of the auction.
