YA promote items with bids on them which is why you see those listings go for no weeks without bids then get multiple bids once one is placed.
for this reason I tend to just snipe them. most of the proxy services allow for this. While YA does bid time extension it still helps improve your chances because the listing will only be promoted for a few minutes as opposed to a few days.
Similarly if there is already 1 or more bids on the item sniping it means they wont get their "outbid" notification in time to respond unless they're already actively watching the end of the auction.
