Bidding to raise the price with no intention of winning is an equivalent to shilling. Bidding with the hope of winning and willingness to pay the bill is fine. What the initial poster describes deserves no apology, he has perfect right to try and win a second one.

I doubt single handedly 'propping up the market' works. The investor can't survive forever on his own bids.
