Once max bids came into the picture, I've felt relieved of all responsibility for losing an auction. Figure out what you're willing to pay, place the max bid, and whatever happens, move on. There's always another auction just down the road.

yep, if you were willing to pay more, then why didnt you? that's exactly right, max bid solves that problem, this is spot on.
