If most auctions had the same type format as Ebay you could bid high as you feel comfortable with and still not hit your max bid. I made a bid once and knew I had to do something at the end of auction time, and was glad I had that option. I won even though it went much higher then I expected, but was happy I won with my eary max bid.

I always bid an amount higher than I want to pay so that I won't be disappointed if I lose.
And, in ebay style auctions I bid with a few seconds left (no software for me) so there is minimal time for anybody to bid again if they see that I have outbid them.
