I do however make up my mind what the max amount is that I'm willing to bid, and I place that amount as a bid late in the game. If I get it for my price or less I figure I wanted it more than anyone else. If I don't win, someone else wanted it more, or was prepared to pay more. Either way I don't take it personally, it's just shopping.
Yup, my philosophy too! Don't get taken by the rush, stick to uncommon common sense, realistic prices, bid what you're prepared to pay and if some-one else has a higher need and bid, then so be it - move on, there'll be another!
