to me, that term always implied that the bidder had an ownership interest in the lot and was shill bidding. What I do often do is bid into a card I already have because I would not mind owning another if the price is right. I might bid 50%-60% of what I paid for the prior one and if I get the card, great, my average price into the card falls and I can sit on the duplicate for trade later on. That isn't nefarious, illogical or silly, it is good common sense, especially on a tough card.
