Exactly. Regardless of auction closing style I have never lost any AH auction where I was willing to pay more for an item than someone else. At this stage in our hobby if you don't trust the auction house with a max bid then find another auction house.

Clearly, the AH that decides to keep everything open to all bidders thinks that there's more money in that, and the AH that doesn't feels that their system is the most profitable. No matter what the system, there is always another auction just down the road. And there doesn't exist the item for which you are willing to pay anything to get it, so take your losses with your wins, and move on.
