I totally understand not wanting to place maximum bids. I will add that from my recent experiences (the last few auctions I bid in), I have left maximum bids for the most I was willing to pay for the items and then went to sleep. In every case, the maximum bid was not reached, and in most cases I won the item for several increments under my maximum bid.
You do run the risk of bidding against yourself if the auction house is not on the up-and-up. Otherwise you are bidding against other bidders while you are enjoying a good night's sleep. You either wake up happy you did not get into a bidding war and overpay, wake up happy that you won the card for the maximum price you decided you were willing to pay, or wake up even happier that you won the card for a lower price than you were willing to pay.
Again, this only works if you trust the auction house. That is up to each person to decide.
