I think shilling other peoples' auctions happens more than you think, though it is hidden under the guise of "Protecting one's investment".
Say you pay $5k for a card today, then next week another one in the same grade comes up for auction. Nearing the end of the auction it looks like it's going to sell for $3500, so you bid it up with no intention of winning it to give the illusion of it maintaining the market value that you set for it with your $5k purchase.
