It is very dangerous.  If the current bid is $100, you do not know what the 
maximum bid of this person is.  Suppose person A bids $99 maximum, and person B 
bids $9998 maximum.  Then the current bid will be $100, and person B will be the 
high bidder.  Now suppose you see this and bid $9999. You become the high bidder 
for 9999 dollars!
