Guy apparently does the same thing on comic book related toys, so who knows. Seems like a huge waste of time and energy to me. You are not getting a $1000 card for $200. He should know that. So bid $500 and see what happens. Not that you will get it at $500 either. . . .

He has 77 bids on it so far lol.

There are some shill bidders who make tons of incremental bids in order to get their item higher in the search rankings or the Hottest cards list.

even if it technically doesn't "hurt" anything, it shouldn't be done!

in fact if it's him bidding on his card to help w/ the "hot/number of bids factor", it seems like the only thing it could hurt is the number of bidders that would actually decide to go in because of such activity.

He is bidding against himself over and over again? It's not like someone beat his previous bid so he outbid them again, he is bidding against his own previous bids.

If I were to try and bid up my item, not that I ever would, that's exactly how I would do it. I don't want to throw in a number if I don't know what the max bid is. If it's $200 and I bid $500 then I essentially kill any and all potential action. Now, if I bid $10 at a time then once I hit past the bidders max bid it's only $10 more, thus not killing the action.
