The problem is that others dont bid that way. If you put in your maximum bid early on, it just allows someone to chip away at it, convincing themselves each time that they're willing to bid 'just another fiver' in order to beat you. Hold fire until the last few seconds and that won't happen.
Edit: Ahem, yes, exactly what CasaSteve just said.
