That's right. That's the best option.
On the other hand, last minute bidding has its pros and cons:
the good: It actually saves money to the last-minute bidder if played well (cruel technique, I agree, but oh well).
the bad: one needs to make rush decisions if bidding is left to the very end (especially if you're automatically outbid because another bidder has put a maximum bid above your own...). You might end up losing the item simply because you run out of time...
So yes, a maximum bid from the very start is probably the best option.
