I embarrassed an auctioneer a couple years back. Thought I had noticed a few "phantom" bids on the items. Came to a balanced head IH mower that I had called about and he knew I was interested. He backed the bidding all the way up to $50.00 when I finally waved my hand. went up real quick to $150 (still well below market) when I stopped - my wife even gave me a poke, she knew I planned on going up to $300 on it.
