Take a position in the centre of the room, it is very important to look determined, with strong body language. It is vital to show the other bidders that you will not be beaten.

This strategy gives the other bidder the impression that you’re going to keep going (and going, and going).
Give careful consideration to what the agent recommends particularly about the reserve price on the day.
