You just keep swimming - I mean bidding - you just keep bidding, until nobody else bids after you.
Why did I use the word "swimming" near the start of the previous sentence instead of the word "bidding"?
Have you seen the animated movie Finding Nemo? An overprotective daddy fish named Marlin goes on a quest to find his abducted son Nemo. Another fish accompanies him - Dory. Dory is a delightful scatter-brain, but makes perfect sense with her chant of "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming."
Believe that if you just "keep swimming" you will win. If you don't give up, you will find your Nemo.
That all said, however, you don't want to be sidetracked into mini-adventures that distract you from the prize. Swim through open and clear water rather, than through a smack of jellyfish. Look for the clues rather, like Marlin and Dory did on their way to finding Nemo, and make use of those clues to ultimately find what you want. What do you want? You don't want the item that is up for auction to cost less than what you spend to win it.
Simply watch a Micro auction or two, perhaps even three or more, for a while.
Open up the bid logs on several Micro auctions. Watch and take notes. Who usually wins? Somebody who started bidding early, or somebody who started bidding late?
Look at the history of the price of winning bids for that item - an easy way to do this is to visit the Pick the Price game page.
Decide on how many TCredits you want to use. Understand that the Micro auctions are for small amounts of TCredits, PSAs or CSAs. Work out the value of the item compared to the cost of your TCredits you plan to use for bidding. You may of course have earned or won your TCredits so they may have not cost you much or even anything at all.
Then start swimming - er, bidding. And after you start? Find Nemo - just keep swimming.
