I really couldn't care less who knows what my max bid is. If I bid on a card and its pushed up to the max, that's what I'm willing to pay. Nobody told me to bid more than I wanted to.
If I do plan on the card as an investment and plan to resell, then I'm a moron for bidding more than the card was worth in the first place. And yes this has happened to me and as I have overbid plenty of times. In the end, it's what I was comfortable paying.
By the way, I typically snipe on Ebay, get an opening bid in AH's so I can put my real bid in extended bidding and generally offer my best price to people here on BST(with a little wiggle room).
