AS I understand it, bidding up your own stuff is called shill bidding, and against the law in most places I have been. I have been to a few where the auctio0neer was taking "phantom" bids. He was pointing to a spot in the crowd where there was no sign of a bid being made. He tried to bid me up on one item. He kept pointing at me and increasing the bid as I was shaking my head NO.
