Knowing the max someone was willing to pay could help an actor set their prices optimally where there is no competition. Where there is competition, setting price to the max someone is willing to pay could drop overall profits since a competitor would happily undercut. So it does not change the rules of the game.
Companies already price by predicting what people are willing to pay, by theory and experimentation. I wouldn't expect them having perfect information change much other than quicker convergence to the prices they would set anyway.
