There are definitely times I would have bid higher if I had a chance to do so on the clock or could place a max bid.

However, with an open public posting format, I don't see how a max bid placed would fix the issue. If I bid a $150 max, someone will then bid $149 just because people are like that.
Say it ain't so...
